MYP4 - MYP5 - DANCE UNIT . Criterion B Planning for performance - October 2016

In this unit, students will be putting together a Dance Choreography. They should take a dance style of their choice from either:

MYP5 Africa, Asia, Oceania or The Middle East

MYP4 South America, North America, Caribbean, Europe.

Working in pairs or individually, they need to develop their dance style and present it, which will be 1.5 to 2 mins in length. Their dance can also be a mixture of dance styles. It is highly recommended they mix genders within their groups but not mandatory.

They will need to use the story board to map out their dance style. They need to submit their individual or group plan and within it, highlight their contributions, based on the  following 3 phases (planning, rehearsing/practicing and presenting).
