After carrying out the activities and core tasks in this unit
most pupils will: demonstrate good techniques and performance skills in a range of styles; use a variety of compositional principles to convey dance ideas; work on their own and with others to devise, rehearse and present dances; plan and implement appropriate warming-up and cooling-down activities; identify where they can take part or watch different dance activities within the local community; describe, analyse, interpret and evaluate dances, demonstrating an understanding of style, context and artistic intention; reflect upon their own work and that of their peers; make decisions that improve the quality of performances and compositions
some pupils will not have made so much progress and will: perform basic techniques in a few dance styles; use simple compositional principles with help; need support in devising and presenting dances; use some appropriate terminology to comment on their own and professional dance works; have some sense of what they need to do to warm up and cool down; identify some strengths and weaknesses in their own compositions and performances; present some ideas to develop and improve dances
some pupils will have progressed further and will: demonstrate very good technical and expressive skills when performing in a range of styles; compose dances that combine physical, formal and expressive elements to communicate the idea; plan and implement warming-up, cooling-down and dance exercise activities that meet the requirements of their dances; be responsible and take the initiative to plan and present dances; show some sophistication in their appreciation of dance
