dance class.
Have a well-aligned body where all your body parts are in balance with

Your weight should be on the ball of the little toe, the ball of the big toe, the
middle of the foot and the heel with your legs over your feet and your knees

center of your shoulders and hips, behind the knee cap and in front of the
ankle.
The head balances on top of the spine with the crown of the head over the
insteps.
Your pelvis balances on top of the legs in such a way that the abdominal
muscles, lower back muscles, around and within the pelvis muscles are
equally contracted – also known as core stability.
Any other suitable answers. (6)
1.3 Allocate 4 marks if the learner can discuss the rules of a jump and landing
safely.
A jump always starts with a knee bend, keeping your knees over your
middle toes.
Push down against the floor and peel your feet off the floor, first heel, then
the balls of your feet, with your toes the last to leave the floor and then
extend in the air.
Land through the feet, toe then ball then heel.
Bend your knees when landing to aid shock absorption.
Knees need to be in line with your third toe when bending.
Ankles should be held and not rolling.
Land with heels touching the floor.
Keep shoulders in line with hips.
Keep pelvis in neutral position (do not 'tuck' or 'arch').
The centre is lifted and held to support the spine – good posture.

2.5 Allocate 4 marks for the immediate treatment of an injury in the dance class.
R.I.C.E stand for: Rest – Ice – Compression – Elevation
Rest – helps the body with the healing process as energy is focused on
healing.
Ice – should be applied to the area as soon as possible to decrease swelling.
The cold decreases the pain, increases circulation and helps the healing
process.
Compression – is used in the form of bandaging or strapping, which
counteracts the accumulation of fluid in the injured area. As with ice, it is
essential to relieve the compression at regular intervals.
Elevation – is done to decrease swelling.
Seek medical attention if the injury persists or worsens. (4)

3.3 Allocate 2 marks for 2 discussions on the functions of the muscles.
The muscles are all attached to the skeleton and they move the bones that

Muscles can contract or shorten and so create movement.
Muscles give our bodies the different shapes and help to hold the body
upright.
Muscles can also limit movements.
Muscles always work as a group to produce movements.
Big and sometimes fast movements that are required for dancers to execute,
depend on the flexibility of the muscles.

POSSIBLE ANSWER:
7.1 Allocate 4 marks for a description why Maqoma choreographed Four Seasons.
Maqoma wrote this piece to create awareness of our contribution as human
beings to the deterioration of our planet.
He wanted to highlight the beauty of nature and how cultures and traditions
are important in upholding humanity.
It is also to celebrate life.
The work is about humans in need of healing.
It also embraces the beauty of the planet and provides hope to future
generations.
With climate change high on the list of concerns for all of us, this is a most
relevant piece.
It is an uncomplicated piece yet portrays a hard-hitting message identifying
with the world, from where it has come, to where it is going: how the world is
at the mercy of human hands.
It is an exploration of the way we treat our planet and the inevitable
consequences.
Four Seasons takes the audience from the winter season of loss and despair
meandering through to summer as hope for new beginnings starts to shed
light, and prosperity for the human race to start living again.
This cyclical movement is also seen as symbolic to our own experiences as
we each have a time of seasonal change within ourselves. Thus each
season describes not only the world and the human effect on the world but
the state of the human psyche.

lighting of any TWO seasons.
Winter:
The lighting promotes a grey, cold feeling.
The dancers are dressed in black capes with hoods, adding to the coldness
of the unknown.
The atmosphere is captured by the video projection of a dilapidated building,
an after-effect of war, a feeling of loss and hopelessness.
Their movements are staccato, sharp, forceful and square responding to the
music.
The dancers march around the stage creating a feeling of soldiers/war.
Spring:
The dancers shed the capes worn in 'winter' to reveal the spring colours in
their costumes.
The lighting becomes warm and highlights the costumes.
The video of flowering flowers on the scrim enhances the scene.
The dancers become creatures in the wild, depicting spring as the beginning
of life; the greenery, flowers blooming, antelopes galloping, different birds
priding themselves in their feathers.
There are bursts of energy from different dancers, taking the space. It is a
joyful dance.
Autumn:
The costumes reflect brown leaves depicting a dry season.
The lighting uses gobos, creating floor patterns to reflect the dry land.
The video projection on the scrim of brown leaves echoes this.
The dancers become victims of strong winds, bodies thrown to the floor,
wind-milling and showing a sense of danger.
The two dancers left in the scene, accompanied by a violin, take the
audience on a journey of survival, loss and pain.
Summer:
The dancers are dressed in red costumes.
The lighting is warm and glowing, reflecting the reds of the costumes.
The video projection is a map of Africa, green in colour, depicting that the
future is Africa. The words of Louis Armstrong's What a Wonderful World is
projected onto the scrim.
In this scene we see hope and bursts of joyful movements, showing unity
among the dancers and support for each other.
The music changes to Brazilian samba rhythms, influencing the movements.

work.

guitarists, drummer/percussionist.

visible during some sections and disappear during others.
The music reflected the mood in all the seasons:
Winter:
The musicians were not visible but provided the rhythmic drive to the dancers'
marching movements.
The music was creating an eerie feeling of a waste land/abandonment at the
beginning.
It became loud/harsh and powerful.
Spring:
The musicians are revealed for the first time, adding a feeling of depth to the stage.
The music becomes more rooted in African rhythms, as does the dance.
Autumn:
The music sets the scene with the sound of wind blowing, building to a rock and
roll feel, depicting chaos and loss.
The mournful sounds of the violin accompany the two dancers left on stage
echoing their sense of pain and loss.
Summer:
The music is vibrant with a Brazilian samba feel to it.
It influences the dance movements which include the sensual use of hips as
performed in a samba.
Any other relevant answers. (4)

society.
Maqoma established his own dance company – Vuyani Dance Theatre (VDT) in
South Africa in 1999.
He was also part of the Performing Arts Research and Training School (PARTS) in
Belgium. This expanded the dance vocabulary of his company and gave exposure
to South African dancers internationally.

in South Africa and used history for a starting point to make statements about the
conditions in South Africa.
