About this unit

In this unit, pupils develop their knowledge of dance styles and forms, focusing on a range of themes that give rise to different types of dance, eg abstract, comic, dramatic and narrative.

In dance as a whole, pupils think about how to use movement to explore and communicate ideas and issues, and their own feelings and thoughts. As they work, they develop an awareness of the historical and cultural origins of different dances.

This unit is expected to take 12-18 hours.
