Within this unique resource the theoretical aspects of dance teaching and learning are focused upon, particularly through the usage of dance terminology. The resource is based on the premise that if a student can talk and write about dance using correct dance language, they will inevitably become better critics and choreographers.
The resource has been written by an experienced dance teacher, and was initially designed to meet the new demands of Section A in the GCSE Performing Art: Dance written exam. However, any dance teacher seeking a well constructed glossary of general dance definitions need look no further.
An initial comprehensive 'A-Z of Useful Dance Definitions' contains more than 260 dance terms, which also include a selection of those used in the specific context of aural setting, physical setting and costume. This could serve as an important theory tool for exam and non exam dance students alike, ranging in age from 13-18 years.
In the ensuing part of the resource, three types of word puzzles can be found. These draw upon the preceding 'A-Z', and will undoubtedly motivate students in their acquisition and revision of fundamental dance terminology. Word Searches focus upon several distinct areas of dance, comprising general dance terms, choreographic terms, performance terms, and terms used in aural/physical setting and costume. 'True or False?' Worksheets follow, in which students have to match explanations from the 'A-Z' with the correct term. Finally, there are Dance Crosswords of various shapes and styles included.
