| | This second-year dance course builds on skills developed in P.E. Jazz and Tap 1,2, and is intended for students who wish to expand their knowledge of these dance forms using the state’s physical education content standards. Students in this course continue to work on movement patterns, and are able to recognize and employ skill-related components like coordination, explosive power, and speed to enhance their performance levels. They create practice plans based on evaluative feedback, and adjust their activities to accommodate changes in physical growth and development. Group and team activities that require strategic thinking are emphasized, along with leadership skills. To the extent possible, these activities have a jazz and tap emphasis. |
