Created for AS dance but would also be suitable for GCSE level.
Three starter lessons to cover the following topics over approx 3 1-hour lessons:

Safety of the dance space
Nutrition and hydration

Injury prevention
Unit of work covering the following:
Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui’s background, style and influences
Babel 7.16 (starting points, themes, and analysis of 4 sections) *Please note, access to the Babel 7.16 DVD will be required.
Zero Degrees (Analysis of section 5 and section 6 and reference to S1, S7 and S14) *Please note that to use the SLC PP’s, prior understanding of Zero Degrees is assumed. Therefore, I have included an extra PP from my Akram Khan series to help introduce the work, if needed.
Plus accompanying worksheets for students to complete in class and/or as revision.
For best use print in colour and laminate to reuse and reduce damage. Great for introducing leaders and group warm-ups. 4 different cards with varying warm-up exercises (basic)
Creative homework resource covering Emancipation of Expressionism for GCSE dance. I found the template online and redesigned it for EoE so feel free to re-do the questions for other topics.
Two booklets covering two different stimuli for dance - gangs and war. Can be used alongside practical lessons, for homework, as non-participant work or for classroom lessons.
Best printed and laminated for use during performances and evaluation lessons. On one side is a basic word bank for students to choose from (to avoid them repeating the same thing that each group did well or need to improve), and on the other are sentence starters and connectives to develop vocabulary and use of full sentences when evaluating performances in class. Once the students get used to using them I found that performance feedback was much quicker and more valuable.
I also have a dance one in my shop.
Recap truth or false quiz
Short Who Wants to be a Millionaire starter quiz covering basics of A Linha Curva with an answer sheet. Questions can be edited. To add more questions copy and paste both a question and answer page and edit on those slides to keep the sound effects on each slide.
