Choreograph a group dance to communicate an intention
Choreograph a group dance to communicate an intention
You need to choreograph (design and plan) a dance for a group of at least three dancers that tells a clear story or creates a specific feeling or mood. Your dance needs to use different movement types, levels, and formations, and every choice you make should connect back to the main idea you're trying to communicate. Think of it as creating a mini-performance where movement choices are deliberate, not random.
Your dance has a clear intention and uses different dance elements (levels, pathways, locomotion) with some repetition and basic group formations that relate to your idea.
Your dance varies dance elements deliberately (contrast in tempo, spacing, levels, and shape), develops movements that directly express your intention, uses smooth transitions, and strategically changes group formations to enhance the meaning.
Your dance uses unexpected movement combinations and purposeful choices that powerfully convey the idea, builds to a climax or creates unity, uses a range of unison/canon/sequential work, and evolves the opening theme by the end to create a sophisticated sense of flow and completion.
