Elements of Dance - BUNDLE!

Save 15% off my Elements of Dance resources when you buy this bundle! This purchase includes 3 resources that are available individually in my store: an Elements of Dance Lesson + Note, an Elements of Dance - 5 Corners Activity, AND a So You Think You Can Dance - Elements of Dance Analysis!

Elements of Dance Lesson + Note: Use these slides as a lesson to teach your class about the Elements of Dance! This lesson includes detailed information about the 5 elements: Body, Energy, Relationship, Time, and Space. Included is also a template for your students to use to copy the note.

I usually project the lesson on the board and have students copy key points using the note template found on the last two pages of this resource. If you choose to print the slides, be sure to print pages 2-8 in the landscape format. Pages 9-10 (the note for your students) should be printed double-sided in portrait format.

Elements of Dance - 5 Corners Activity: This interactive 5 Corners Activity is a fun and engaging way for students to further understand the 5 Elements of Dance! Each student will receive a sentence that analyzes a dancer's performance. The student then has to decide which Element the sentence relates to and moves to the section of the classroom with that Element label. All you have to do is cut out the 5 Elements and sentences, then laminate! Place the 5 Elements around the classroom and the sentences in an envelope for students to pick from. This activity leads to effective classroom problem-solving and discussion!

So You Think You Can Dance - Elements of Dance Analysis: After learning about the 5 Elements of Dance (Body, Energy, Relationship, Time, and Space), this resource can be used for students to demonstrate their learning and their ability to analyze all of the Elements in a specific performance. In small groups, students will choose any So You Think You Can Dance performance video on YouTube. They will then work together to analyze all of the Elements of their chosen performance, using specific examples.
