If a public school offers a course of instruction in dance
theory and practice in fifth grade, such instruction must be designed so that
pupils meet the following standards of performance by the completion of the
course:
1. Creation of new dance by
conceiving and developing dance, alone and with others, which must be
determined by evaluating the ability of the pupil to:
(a) Generate and conceptualize dance and
ideas relating to dance, as demonstrated by the ability of the pupil to:
(1) Generate ideas for choreography using
several stimuli; and
(2) Identify a
problem relating to movement and demonstrate a solution.
(b) Organize and develop dance and ideas
relating to dance, as demonstrated by the ability of the pupil to:
(1) Use a variety of choreography to
represent the same main idea; and
(2) Develop a dance that expresses a main
idea without using words.
(c) Refine, complete and present dance, as
demonstrated by the ability of the pupil to:
(1) Revise choices of movement in a dance by
incorporating feedback; and
(2)
Create a written record of changes in a dance sequence.
2. Performance of dance that
involves interpretation and presentation of dance, alone and with others, which
must be determined by evaluating the ability of the pupil to:
(a) Select, analyze and interpret dance for
presentation, as demonstrated by the ability of the pupil to:
(1) Combine static and dynamic shapes into
dance sequences that establish relationships with other dancers;
(2) Respond in movement to uneven rhythms;
and
(3) Contrast bound and free
movement.
(b) Develop
and refine technique and performances, as demonstrated by the ability of the
pupil to:
(1) Perform a range of movements
when replicating patterns and sequences of movement;
(2) Demonstrate and discuss safe practices of
body use and self-care to prevent injury; and
(3) Collaborate with an ensemble of pupils in
a dance performance and apply feedback to establish personal goals for
performance.
(c) Convey
meaning through the presentation of dance, as demonstrated by the ability of
the pupil to:
(1) Adapt dance to alternative
performance venues; and
(2) Use
production elements to enhance a dance performance.
3. Understanding and evaluating,
alone and with others, how dance conveys meaning, which must be determined by
evaluating the ability of the pupil to:
(a)
Perceive and analyze dance, as demonstrated by the ability of the pupil to:
(1) Identify meaning or artistic intent in a
dance; and
(2) Demonstrate how
dance styles differ within a specific genre or culture.

demonstrated by the ability of the pupil to explain, using terminology commonly
used in the field of dance, how movements communicate the main idea of a

(c) Apply prescribed
criteria to evaluate dance, as demonstrated by the ability of the pupil to
define the characteristics of a dance that make the dance artistic and relate
those characteristics to elements of dance across genres, styles and
cultures.
4. Using
external context when creating, evaluating and finding personal meaning in
dance, which must be determined by evaluating the ability of the pupil to:
(a) Apply and relate knowledge and personal
experience to dance, as demonstrated by the ability of the pupil to:
(1) Compare two dances with contrasting
themes; and
(2) Create a study of
dance that expresses an idea researched by the pupil.
