I hope you find my resources helpful and if you do please leave a review. There are a mixture of Dance, Healthy living and PSHE resources for a range of ages and curriculum.

This is a 3 part lesson exploring ways to build tension and tell stories through
dance. The lesson is focused on the work of Jerome Robbins “West Side Story”
Lesson 1: Learn some stylised actions (videos provided for the non-specialist). Students explore the impact of the infamous walks and clicks and choreograph their own short sequences using this idea.
Lesson 2: Focused more on the stylised actions and using them to develop the work from the previous lesson in their groups
Lesson 3: Focus on expressive skills and preparing for performance of their work. Students will perform and then watch an excerpt from the musical to reflect on demonstrating critical thinking and appreciation of Jerome Robbins choreography.

There are teacher guidance notes throughout, feel free to adapt and change slides according to your students needs.
