Big? Can I explain the meaning of the term ‘levels’ within dance?
Before we begin the main input for today’s PE lesson, we need to warm up! Today I woud like you to create your own warm up. Your warm up must include 4 pulse raising exercises and 4 stretches. There are some examples of both pulse raising exercises and stretches below.
Pulse raising exercises - jogging on the spot, high knees, star jumps, squat jumps
Stretches - pushing hips forward, arm circles forwards and backwards, trying to touch the floor keeping your legs straight
For the main part of today’s lesson, we are going to be learning a dance sequence to music from ‘The Greatest Showman’. We are going to be watching a dance video by Oti Mabuse (a dancer from Strictly Come Dancing). While you are learning this sequence, I want you to think about the different levels involved. When we talk about levels in dance, we are thinking about changes in height. For example moving from standing on your feet upright to crouching on the ground is a change in level.
