Dancing Through The Ages

Our PE topic this half term in Year 5 is ‘Dance’. We have been focusing on the different dance styles throughout the ages ranging from 1920 up until now.

The children have worked in groups and have loved exploring the variety of dance styles from each decade and choreographing a small routine to match. They have included the use of canon, formation changes, direction and level to improve their ideas and make their routine more exciting. As well as performing our routine, we have also focused on giving useful feedback to others using the appropriate dance vocabulary.
