Elements of Dance Lesson and 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.

I always start off the Dance curriculum with this lesson, then use the Elements of Dance 5 Corners Activity and the So You Think You Can Dance - Elements of Dance Analysis resources that are available in my store to deepen and assess student understanding.

This resource is available as part of my Elements of Dance - Bundle.
