Course Outline
This course focuses on dance performance, appreciation, and creation. This course aims to develop the students’ higher-order thinking skills (H.O.T.) through activities in which they analyze, evaluate and create dance (Anderson et al., 2001). Students will also reflect, comment and write in English about their learning experiences. Students will be motivated to improvise to tasks, ideas and music. The combination of dramatic and fun improvisation will help students gain confidence to think on their feet, act spontaneously, persevere and embrace challenges. Working towards a common goal and solving problems together will help students improve teamwork, communication skills and divergent thinking skills.
*Parents will be invited to join the show in the last session.
Target Participants / Prerequisite
For students completed P4 - P6 who are interested in enhancing psychological health through dancing are welcome.
