You need to choreograph (design and plan) a dance for a group of at least three dancers that tells a clear story or creates a specific feeling or mood. Your dance needs to use different movement types, levels, and formations, and every choice you make should connect back to the main idea you're trying to communicate. Think of it as creating a mini-performance where movement choices are deliberate, not random.
What to do, grades and common mistakes
What you actually do
- ·Define a clear intention (the idea, mood, or image you want to communicate) before you start choreographing
- ·Use a variety of dance elements including different types of movement (walking, jumping, twists), multiple levels (low, medium, high), different pathways (straight lines, circles, diagonals), and different facings (directions dancers look)
- ·Create organized movement sequences that include repetition, vary the unison (dancers moving together vs. separately), and use different spatial relationships and group formations
- ·Make smooth transitions that connect movements logically so the dance flows from start to finish
- ·Explain how your choreographic choices (the movements you picked, how you arranged dancers, the shapes they make) directly support your intention
AAchieved
Your dance has a clear intention and uses different dance elements (levels, pathways, locomotion) with some repetition and basic group formations that relate to your idea.
