In this lesson, students explored one out of six patterns of total body connectivity: head-tail connection. Students explored varied movements that incorporate head-tail connection from floor work, to center, to across the floor and eventually through performance phrase. 

In this lesson, students were introduced to Hip Hop. I created learning activities that gave students a brief introduction into the basics of Hip Hop such as swagger, groove, bounce and rhythm. Students were able to let go and creating handshakes with their peers. 

In these lessons, students developed their own artistic expression through group choreography utilizing Dance Elements. In the overall unit, students explored each Dance Element through miniature choreographic tasks that scaffolded their learning to foster their readiness to create a group phrase that used all Dance Elements as an influence for movement.
