Core Content for Assessment:
AH-E-2.1.31 Discuss

the expressive qualities of movements (ideas, emotions)
contribute to the idea of the dance

skip, hop jump, slide, leap gallop) and non-locomotor (bend
stretch twist, swing) movements are used to create simple
dances with a beginning, middle and end
AH E-2.1.31 Explain how dance movements are
similar and different from everyday movements (e.g., brushing
hair, tying shoes, walking)

up-stage), pathways (straight line, diagonal line, zig-zag, figure
8, semi-circle), time, beat, tempo, rhythm, force (sharp-smooth,
light-heavy, hard-soft, gentle-strong), shapes (circles, squares,
waves)
