PRIMARY, SECONDARY, POST-16 & SEN OFFERS<br />
Whilst dance can be used to support the teaching of<br />
curriculum subject knowledge, it also equips pupils with<br />
the tools to be able to access that knowledge and<br />
prepare them with the necessary skills to enter the adult<br />
world. Through learning dance sequences, choreographic<br />
tasks, performing and dance appreciation pupils will<br />
engage in:<br />
Problem Solving: working creatively as independent<br />
enquirers and cooperatively as a part of a team. Pupils<br />
will analyse and evaluate ideas to find creative solutions<br />
to choreographic tasks.<br />
Learning Outcomes<br />
Negotiating and Team Working: as part of the creative<br />
process, pupils work as effective participants, putting<br />
forward their creative solutions to tasks and striking a<br />
balance to achieve a common goal.<br />
Reflective Learning: as part of the workshop, pupils will<br />
engage in dance appreciation; actively observing and<br />
providing feedback to their peers to evaluate progress<br />
and identify achievement and opportunity for<br />
development.<br />
Confidance puts great emphasis on the importance of<br />
feedback and constructive criticism and creates a positive<br />
and safe learning environment to enable this.<br />
Above all, pupils of any age or ability will work and think<br />
creatively in an environment where diversity of thought<br />
and ability is celebrated to create dynamic and exciting<br />
dance work.<br />
Teacher Commitment & Training<br />
What happens at the end?<br />
Other Resources/Support<br />
Attend a planning meeting and provide practical support<br />
during the project. Provide access to a suitable dance<br />
space (e.g. school hall) and a sound system.<br />
Teacher training can be provided for all levels of ability,<br />
knowledge and experience, taking place in class time and<br />
as twilight sessions.<br />
Where appropriate, Confidance aims to work towards a<br />
live performance outcome. This could take place within<br />
school assembly, or a performance outside.<br />
Dance for film is also an option if live performance is not<br />
suitable.<br />
Lesson plans and discussion with the teacher on potential<br />
follow up tasks can be provided on request.<br />
Schools will be directed towards useful websites, music<br />
choices and dance stimuli.<br />
