"Grade 8's,
When creating your choreographed dances remember your dance elements (levels, space, and unity). Also, consider the meaning you are trying to portray, song choice, use of technology, and dress!
You'll do great!"
Eastdale’s Best Dance Crew
In groups of 4, your group will choreograph a dance to compete against
other groups for the title of Eastdale’s Best Dance Crew. You will perform to your dance to the
judges and be scored based on a point system. The winner of Eastdale’s Best Dance Crew
will be featured in the first 15 seconds of Eastdale’s Harlem Shake.
Within your dance, consider the movements or choreographed moves we
have learned about in class (Ex. Line dancing Cotton Eyed Joe, Zumba, movement
cards). Your dance must be 2 minutes long and portray a particular theme.
[Remember during our movement lesson we created movement pieces that portrayed
an environmental issue].
Consider:
-
Ideas: Celebrity videos/ dances, Zumba, movement cards,
line dancing, etc
-
Where the audience is sitting

Once you have choreographed your dance, you will write a final dance
reflection. Your reflection will explain the choices you made in your dance
piece. For example, why did you choose your theme? What movements demonstrated
your theme? Why did you choose that particular song? What technology and
costume choices did you make and why? How well did your group work together?
Your reflection must be 1 page double spaced.

ReplyDeletewhy did you choose your theme? the theme we used was everyday life we choose this because we knew moves from past experiences that went well with the theme such as the lawn mower. What movements demonstrated your theme?moves that went well with our theme were important jobs and hobbies that we do occasionally. Why did you choose that particular song? we choose the song radiation because the beat and the sounds went good together with the dance moves. What technology and costume choices did you make and why?we used regular clothing in our dance because it went well with our theme. How well did your group work together? our group worked really well together because we cooperated and each were involved in the choreographed moves and we had fun.
brandon7 we chose the theme everyday life because its like lawnmower shopping cart fishing so thats why we picked that. we picked that song because it was the only one we had. we dident have the costumes and stuff.
