| Physical activity, literacy, and movement are crucial to the well-being of the individual and society. In the first session, a short dance will be created based on components such as direction, shape, energy, and pathway. Language and drawing will be applied to effectively describe the dance. The second session will focus on rituals and their importance to culture. Participants will develop creative movement sequences based on the concept of Spring and its relationship to life and social cooperation. The National Dance Standards and assessment across the learning domain will be analyzed. |
