This is a lesson which was used as an introduction to the elements of dance, students create each task to build their own routine.

This is a task I completed with KS3 as an introduction to dance, each student had a table and the key words were stuck around the room and I have students five minutes, to put the key word in the correct box. Students then kept this resource to refer to when providing feedback.

This is a boardgame created to engage learners in component 1 of the BTEC Tech Award in Performing Arts. There are two games - one for the Dance and one for the Drama pathway. The boardgame includes our set works (West Side Story, Revelations, Swansong, Blood Brothers and Teechers) but is easily adapted to suit your own set works. Students can roll a dice to decide which questions to answer and in which order. It can be done as a game between peers or a solo task.
