Year 3 Dance Achievement Standard – Australian Curriculum v9
This Achievement Standard describes what students are expected to know and do in Year 3 The Arts by the end of the year. Teachers can use it to guide assessment design, collect evidence of learning, and ensure planning stays aligned with the Australian Curriculum v9.
What Students Should Know
By the end of Year 4, students describe use of the elements of dance in dance they experience, create and/or perform. They describe where, why and/or how dance is choreographed and/or performed across cultures, times, places and/or other contexts.
Students use the elements of dance to structure dance sequences that communicate ideas, perspectives and/or meaning. They demonstrate fundamental movement skills and safe dance practice. They perform their dance in informal settings.
