Transfer and apply information in one setting to enrich another.

  • Write or find a story that describes a special place in the local area.
  • Use mime to describe the people, animals or landforms through movement. Exaggerate and simplify the movements so that the gestures become easy to see.
  • Explore different dynamics of the movements – move very slowly, move cery small, gradually make the movements bigger, try the movement as solo, duo, or group.


  • Select your favourite parts of the dance making and develop into sequences that are repeated so that it is the same each time.
  • Teach the sequence to each group with slight variations.

Explain and justify ideas and outcomes.

  • Which elements of dance were used?
