The instructional Program will explore multiple cultures of dance as origins for unique styles of movement. Across the unit, students will experience traditional styles of dance, analyze movement concepts and gestures within cultural styles, and associate these dances with the historical context from which they originate.  Students will then compose a dance with movement that symbolizes and reflects on the cultural and traditional influences of their countries. Students will perform to culminate the unit by preparing a dance recital of basic choreographic patterns including reflection on the creative process used to develop the choreography, poems, etc.
