Week 4: Dance and Social Studies:
This week in Dance class, we explored various cultures and how to move according to the temp of their traditional songs. We explored African, Swedish, and Russian traditional music, in order to explore their cultural dance forms. One of the songs that really resonated with myself was the Russian troika, having a very fast tempo which required very quick movements in order to keep up. The element of Dance that was explored during this class was time (how fast or slow something is going). The movements within the dance all reflect these three elements of time, moving fast or slow or sustained movements with a heavy or light emphasis.
Elements of Time:
Social Studies Curriculum:
Theory:
The theory explored within this class was Bloom's Taxonomy, which promotes higher forms of thinking in education, such as analyzing and evaluating concepts, processes, procedures, and principles, rather than just remembering facts. How Bloom's taxonomy relates to dance is, going through the various steps of evaluating and creating our narrative stories through dance. Each group was in charge of using an element of dance to group together a sequence of movements into one collective piece.
