Year 9 Dance Elective
In Year 9 Dance Elective, students are actively engaged in exploring the fundamental aspects of safe dance practices while deepening their understanding of human physiology in relation to dance. Last week students engaged in an interactive session where they partnered up to assemble a skeleton, fostering a hands-on comprehension of the skeletal structure. Through this activity, they were able to label each bone and gain insights into the body's anatomy which is crucial for their dance practice.
Further to this, students are diligently working on their assessment task, which entails crafting a warm-up exercise that corresponds to a specific body skill acquired through mastering a technical sequence in performance. This multifaceted approach not only enhances their physical abilities but also cultivates a deeper appreciation for the intricacies of dance technique.
I congratulate our spotlight star Lacey Geary. She deserves praise for consistently completing lesson reflections and showing genuine interest in understanding the anatomy of a dancer. Her dedication to learning is commendable and sets a great example for others. Keep up the good work, Lacey!
