Central Idea: Performers communicate ideas in their work by making choices.

• Form- What do performers need to make a good performance?

• Form What elements are used to represent different emotions?

• Function: What choices do artists make to represent emotions?

In this unit, students transfer previous learning about emotions in the arts to learn about using dance elements to choreograph and perform. 

Using a western classical piece of music, students will explore elements of Body, Action, Space, Time, Energy to convey the emotion of a piece of music through dance. This will culminate in a performance for their Y5 buddies, which will be recorded.
