Dance: Shape Dance - Ali : Grade Commentary
Ali and partner have demonstrated an adequate level of competence in composing a dance sequence based on shapes. The written reflection provides a detailed description of the creative process. The routine is creative and has been well organised. There is evidence of an adequate level of competence in exploring, refining and organising movement and sound understanding of the elements of dance. Two of the four shapes do not seem to match those on the worksheet but the remaining two shapes have been interestingly created using two bodies to form one shape. Relationships have been effectively used but locomotor transitions need further development. This work sample demonstrates characteristics of work typically produced by students performing at grade C standard at the end of Stage 3.
