  • • using observations/analysis of a dance in a selected genre/style to identify characteristic techniques, building ability to execute the technical and expressive skills using safe dance practice over time and applying it to enhance performance of dances
  • • seeking feedback on their choreography and performance; for example, using Viewpoints to frame questions such as “What emotion did you feel most strongly as you viewed the dance?” and using the feedback to refine use of technical and expressive skills
