Question bank: Dance Movements

When we look at a dance, we can observe that the person dancing moves their body in various ways, such as jumping, spinning, swinging their arms and legs. Each movement is important to tell a story or show a feeling. Now, think of a dance that you know or have seen, and describe which parts of the body are used and how they move. Why do you think these movements are important for the dance you chose?

When we dance, our body moves in different ways, using parts like the arms, legs, and even the head. These movements can be fast or slow, light or strong, and help to tell stories or express feelings. Now, imagine you are a choreographer and need to create a dance that tells the story of a bird flying. Think about which parts of your body you would use and how you would move them to show the beauty and freedom of the bird. Describe what movements you would make with your arms, legs, and body to dance this story, and explain why you chose these movements.

Imagine you are a choreographer creating a new dance. Describe which movements you would use for the dance and explain how different parts of the body relate to create these movements.
