The scholars will be able to

 

Level 1 •

Explore a selected group of non-locomotor movements using more refined motor skills. • Demonstrate and compare walk, run and leap while traveling forward, backward, sideward, and diagonally. • Explore the difference between personal and general space. • Compare and demonstrate far-reach and near-reach. • Perform a variety of body shapes at low, middle, and high levels. • Explore straight, curved, and zigzag pathways. • Isolate individual body parts in movement. • Create and perform isolated still and moving shapes. • Demonstrate contrasting energy qualities. • Explore movement to different meters. • Create and perform spatial relationships individual to individual.

 

Level 2 •

Demonstrate a selected group of non-locomotor movements using more refined motor skills. • Demonstrate and compare walk, run, leap, jump and hop while traveling forward, backward, sideward, and diagonally. • Demonstrate the difference between personal and general space. • Compare and demonstrate far-reach to mid-reach and near-reach to mid-reach. • Create and perform a variety of body shapes (straight, angular, curved, and twisted) individually and with a partner at low, middle, and high levels. • Create movements in straight, curved, and zigzag pathways. • Create movement using two individual body parts. • Create and perform a series of still and moving shapes. • Create and perform a movement phrase showing contrasting energy qualities. • Execute duple patterns in movement at varying tempos. • Demonstrate spatial relationships individual to group.

 

Level 3 •

Perform a selected group of non-locomotor movements using more refined motor skills. • Demonstrate and compare walk, run, leap; jump and hop; skip, gallop and slide while traveling forward, backward, sideward, and diagonally. • Perform movements demonstrating the difference between personal and general space. • Create and perform a variety of body shapes (straight, angular, curved, and twisted) individually, with a partner, and in small groups at low, middle, and high levels. • Demonstrate a variety of body shapes at low, middle, and high levels. • Create and perform movements in straight, curved, and zigzag pathways. • Create a movement phrase by using three individual body parts. • Create, teach and perform a series of still and moving shapes. • Create, teach and perform a movement phrase showing contrasting energy qualities. • Execute duple and triple patterns in movement at varying tempos. • Improvise individual to group spatial relationships.
