Perform a repertoire of contrasting dances

You perform three or more contrasting dances with accurate movement vocabulary and timing, and you show different ideas and moods across them.
You perform three or more contrasting dances with clear understanding of their distinct stylistic requirements—you show different body shapes, postural alignment, timing, focus and expression for each, and you convey the different moods or feelings behind them.
You perform three or more contrasting dances with in-depth understanding of stylistic requirements, including contrasting details like embellishments and body isolations, varied dynamics appropriate to each style, and you convincingly convey the emotional content and expressiveness of each dance—whether that's a character persona or abstract idea.
