1. INTRODUCTION
The 17 Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement subjects which contain a
practical component all include a practical assessment task (PAT). These subjects
are:
• AGRICULTURE: Agricultural Management Practices, Agricultural Technology
• ARTS: Dance Studies, Design, Dramatic Arts, Music, Visual Arts
• SCIENCES: Computer Applications Technology, Information Technology,
Technical Sciences
• SERVICES: Consumer Studies, Hospitality Studies, Tourism
• TECHNOLOGY: Civil Technology, Electrical Technology, Mechanical
Technology and Engineering Graphics and Design
A practical assessment task (PAT) mark is a compulsory component of the final
promotion mark for all candidates offering subjects that have a practical component
and counts 25% (100 marks) of the end-of-year examination mark. The PAT is
implemented across the first three terms of the school year. This is broken down into
different phases or a series of smaller activities that make-up the PAT. The PAT
allows for learners to be assessed on a regular basis during the school year and it
also allows for the assessment of skills that cannot be assessed in a written format,
e.g. test or examination. It is therefore important that schools ensure that all learners
complete the practical assessment tasks within the stipulated period to ensure that
learners are resulted at the end of the school year. The planning and execution of
the PAT differs from subject to subject.
The subject Dance Studies has TWO performance assessment tasks (PATs).
The TWO PATS = 100 MARKS and constitute a quarter of the end-of-year
examination mark and should be given the time and attention they deserve.
2. PURPOSE/BENEFITS OF THE PATS – CONTENT/CONCEPTS/SKILLS
• Dance as a performing art needs to be experienced not only in the classroom
and examination room, but also in productions on stage, where possible.
• Performance lifts the standard of dance technique and performance quality.
• The PATs allow learners to develop skills such as:
o Critical thinking – how to use music/accompaniment/production elements/
choreographic structures/performance spaces/technology/mixed-media,
etc. to enhance a dance work.
o Creative thinking – ability to develop an idea through research/
improvisation/exploration/abstraction/interpretation from a starting point into
a complete dance work/make meaning of movement
o Problem solving – managing themselves and others, finding creative
resolutions to problems/implementing corrections for improvement/
managing time restrains and meeting deadlines.
o Leadership and team work – life skills, such as commitment, focus,
planning, preparation and time management are experienced in real-life
situations.
• The purpose of the written component of the PATs is to deepen content
knowledge and understanding of the subject as a whole. To enhance the
learner's understanding of how to analyse and interpret dance works and
choreographic styles/structures/dance elements/performance quality and to
apply their knowledge in specific scenarios in the final written Paper 1
examination.

3. PAT IMPLEMENTATION
• The TWO PATs should be implemented across the first two terms of the school
year and can be done in any order.
• It allows learners to be assessed on a regular basis and allows for the
assessment of skills that cannot be assessed in a one off formal format, e.g. test
or examination.
• The two PATS are a compulsory component of the final FET promotion
mark.
• It is therefore important that schools ensure that all learners complete both PATs
within the stipulated period. Failure to comply with any of the PATs will result in
an incomplete/not resulted mark at the end of the year.
TERM 1 TERM 2 TERM 3 PAT YEAR MARK
PAT 1: PAT 2: Completion of any 100 MARKS
25 marks written 25 marks written outstanding PATS
25 marks practical 25 marks practical
4. DISABILITY/ILLNESS/INJURY
• A disabled learner enrolled at the start of this FET subject will be examined
within their performance abilities and will not be discriminated against in any
way.
• This could be extended to an able-bodied learner due to serious illness or injury
in their Grade 12 year.
• Application in this regard must then be made to provincial directorates for any
changed status in performance ability with regard a learner with previous good
health.
• Medical evidence and testimony from a professional must be submitted.
• This will not apply to the written or participation areas of the PAT requirements,
only to the final performance mark.
• Pregnancy is not regarded as an illness or injury. A pregnant learner will be
given every opportunity to complete her PAT(s) before/after the birth of her child
but within the school year.
• The PAT components can be adapted to allow participation for injured learners
in the final performance, e.g. performing on a chair/wheelchair/standing/minimal
movement.
5. LIST OF RESOURCES
• Learner's Grade 12 Excellent Dance Studies textbook – PAT content
• Teacher's Grade 12 Excellent Dance Studies textbook – teaching
methodologies
• CDs, a collection of suitable music and musical instruments, music system
• Literature/Articles/Textbooks on dance (books, magazines, internet)
• Access to research information on topics to be addressed in the learner
choreographies, e.g. books, magazines, newspapers, internet
• Reference books such as Dance Studies: Teaching Improvisation,
Choreography and Production (WCED 2009 – available from Edumedia)
• Repertoire for the chosen dance genre in PAT 2

6. TEACHER GUIDELINES/LESSON PLANNING: PAT 1: CHOREOGRAPHY
• This is a demanding section of the curriculum. Learners need sufficient time and
guidance to successfully conceptualise choreographing a dance work from its
initial stages to completion.
• This PAT may not be given to learners to do unsupervised/on their own/outside
of the school timetable. This includes both the practical and written
components. Homework will also be expected in each component.
• The teacher should provide an initial starting point/intent from which the learners
then develop their own interpretation. An example of a learner brief has been
included on page 14.
6.1 TIME FRAME
• This PAT is done in term 1 or 2. It should take 8–10 weeks to complete.
• Prior preparation could have started in Grade 11, term 4 (see page 29, CAPS
document).
• Each group's choreography must be 2 - 3 minutes in total length.
• One lesson per week should be allocated to this PAT during the school
timetable. This should include both practical and written sections.
• Additional time during intervals and after school may be organised between the
teacher and learners for feedback and individual attention. This will allow the
teacher to help groups with any area/blocks they may encounter as well as
provide advice for improvement.
• Final assessment date must be provided in advance.
6.2 GUIDING THE LEARNER PRACTICAL AND WRITTEN JOURNAL
• Inspire your learners. Provide visual stimuli which will instil creativity and
provide a framework on how your learners may approach this PAT with
enthusiasm and vigour.
• When teaching this component, keep in mind that some learners will use
technology to enhance their PAT.
• In schools with a large Grade 12 enrolment, dance learners should be placed in
groups of 3–6 learners, managed by the teacher.
• Each group will produce one choreographic work that all members contribute to.
• If there is only 1 Grade 12 learner, dancers from other grades should be used to
dance in the choreography/dance work.
• The dance work should not exceed 3 minutes because of time restraints at
school.
• Quality vs. quantity. The teacher should guide the learner to select the most
relevant material developed over the planning/improvisation process for the final
product.
• A detailed learner brief must be provided in the first lesson outlining the
theme/stimulus and how each lesson in the term should be planned. It must
include reference pages to the textbook, performance dates and deadlines.
• The brief must be pasted into the learner journal for moderation purposes
as evidence of the process followed by learner for verification of marks.
• Learners must receive the marking criteria and rubric before they start this PAT
to guide their planning and preparation.
• Teachers are responsible for ensuring each learner has a designated journal for
the written content of the process and product of the PAT, programme note and
production planning. This may not be done in the task book for general study
purposes.

NSC
• The written work must be a personal account/own experiences in relation to the
PAT and should not consist of pages rewritten from the textbook.
• Teachers need to mark written work on a regular basis and provide feedback for
improvement. This should be evident in remarks/dates/signature of the teacher
in the learner journals.
• Teachers should provide a selection of music for learners/groups to choose from
if they are unable to find their own music. Many times, learners will not have
access to a wide range of suitable music. Teachers should also assist in the final
selection, fading, cutting and collection of music for final assessment and
moderation.
• Teachers are responsible for managing learners after school hours/sharing time
for the use of venues/equipment, etc. and ensuring their safety.
• The teacher will be responsible for collecting all learner journals/evidence
of the process once the PAT is completed for submission for
provincial/DBE moderation.
• Should you use the learner exemplar of the brief included in this PAT, use your
school Wi-Fi connectivity/overhead projectors connected to your laptop to
access the relevant electronic examples of the content provided.

improvisation/creativity:

6.3 ASSESSMENT, MODERATION AND MANAGEMENT OF THIS COMPONENT
• The mark sheet provided on page 8 must be used without changes made to it,
in all provinces. All 5 sections must be completed. A copy of this mark sheet
should be made for each group in your Grade 12 class, i.e. 3–6 learners per
group depending on your numbers.
• Insert the name and surname of each learner in the group.
• The marking rubric on page 9 must be used in all provinces without alteration to
guide the allocation of marks for each learner in SECTIONS 1, 2, 3 and 5.
• The process mark sheet exemplar on page 10, or your own version of recording
these marks, must be included to verify how you awarded marks for participation
in the process over 8 weeks to each learner – SECTION 4.

Dance Studies 7 DBE/PAT 2019

• Each learner is marked individually reflecting his/her personal contribution
and participation in the process and the final performance/outcome of the PAT.
• The process is often more revealing of the true worth of a learner's
participation/preparation/knowledge/experimentation/creativity gained in this PAT
than the final product produced. Teachers should take notice of this in
SECTIONS 1 to 4 and award marks accordingly.
• This PAT can be done as a public performance/school performance/assembly or
in the dance room. It could be performed in a conventional/non-conventional
performance space. In some circumstances it could have been choreographed
specifically for filming (if so all the requirements for completion remain the
same).
• The planning for the use of production elements by each learner should not be
limited to their actual performance. Learners must be encouraged to
design/create/conceptualise what they would use in a production if they had an
unlimited budget. Creativity/originality is required in this component as per the
clips provided.
• The one-page programme note should be used when marking each group's final
performance to verify relevance, meaning and understanding of a
synopsis/intent/idea in this particular format. Often the programme note has no
correlation to the final performance so the note becomes redundant.
• A register of all lessons during and after school must be kept by the teacher for
this PAT.
• All interventions for a total non-completion of this PAT must be recorded and
proof thereof must be available at moderation with regard the allocation of a zero
mark awarded to a learner.
• If only certain SECTIONS of 1 to 5 have been completed for this PAT, this
mark per section will then be awarded as the final PAT mark and will not result
in an incomplete result (even if it means the learner does not pass this PAT).
• A letter of authenticity should be pasted in each learner's journal guaranteeing
the work is the learners own and that the teacher has witnessed it being
rehearsed. Any form of plagiarism will be awarded a zero mark.
• Teachers are responsible for a DVD of each group's final performance.
• Teachers must create a detailed lesson plan to include teaching methodology/
preparation/LTSM, etc. required for the teaching of this PAT.
It should show:
o A detailed breakdown of how you have prepared for each weekly lesson
corresponding directly to your learner brief for the term
o Progression of content/concepts and skills taught throughout the duration of
the PAT as you have stipulated in your planning
o Tasks set are adaptable so they can challenge a wide range of learning
styles and abilities
o How tasks/adjustments have been made for disabled/injured/ill learners and
how they will be marked to meet PAT compliance standards/time frames as
dictated per province

6.6 LEARNER BRIEF FOR PAT 1 (EXEMPLAR)
Maxime Taccardi
THEME/STARTING POINT FOR YOUR GRADE 12 CHOREOGRAPHY
1. PASSAGES FROM MY NAME IS RED BY ORHAN PAMUK
I'm so fortunate to be red! I'm fiery. I'm strong. I know men take notice of me and that I cannot
be resisted.
I do not conceal myself: For me, delicacy manifests
itself neither in weakness nor in subtlety, but through
determination and will. So, I draw attention to
myself. I'm not afraid of other colours, shadows,
crowds or even of loneliness. How wonderful it is to
cover a surface that awaits me with my own
victorious being! Wherever I'm spread, I see eyes
shine, passions increase, eyebrows rise and
heartbeats quicken. Behold how wonderful it is to
live! Behold how wonderful to see. I am everywhere.
Life begins with and returns to me. Have faith in
what I tell you.'
'My dear master, explain red to somebody who has
never known red.'
'If we touched it with the tip of a finger, it would feel
like something between iron and copper. If we took it
into our palm, it would burn. If we tasted it, it would
be full-bodied, like salted meat. If we took it between
our lips, it would fill our mouths. If we smelled it, it'd
have the scent of a horse. If it were a flower, it would
smell like a daisy, not a red rose.'

2. RED IS THE COLOUR OF EXTREMES
It's the colour of passionate love, seduction, violence, danger, anger and adventure.
Our prehistoric ancestors saw red as the colour of fire and blood – energy and primal life
forces – and most of red's symbolism today arises from its powerful associations in the past.
In the 20th century, red became the colour of revolution, communism and workers. In nature,
the red colour of blood comes from haemoglobin, the iron-containing protein found in the red
blood cells of all vertebrates.
Since red is the colour of blood, it has historically been associated with sacrifice, danger and
courage.
Like most colours, red, has both opposing meanings:
• Positive meanings/symbolism includes passion, love, independence, action, energy,
courage, vitality, etc.
• Negative meanings/symbolism includes danger, evil, aggression, anger, violence, blood,
martyrdom, war, revolution, etc.

o Time – are your movements fast or slow/how long does each movement phrase
last/is the rhythm you are using even or uneven.
o Force – what amount of energy are you using for the different movements/are your
movements smooth, jerky, light, heavy, strong or weak. How will this relay the
message you are trying to impart?
o Space – consider which performance space will suit your dance work - conventional
or non-conventional and how you will use your dance movement within this space.
This will include the levels, direction and design in space that your group is using for
the dance work.

7. TEACHER GUIDELINES FOR PAT 2: GROUP DANCE
• This PAT must be choreographed by the teacher/professional choreographer or
repertoire can be used from a professional dance work.
• Learners may not choreograph any part of this PAT.
• The focus is to develop and expand the learners technical and performance
qualities.
• This PAT may be done as a public performance or in a classroom environment.
• It is recommended that the PAT group dance is converted into the solo for
the final practical examination. This will assist in the limited time available in
the Grade 12 year. It will also allow learners time to master their solo both
technically and in performance quality as they have already learnt the dance
during the PAT.
7.1 TIME FRAME
• This PAT can be done in term 1 or 2.
• It should take 8–10 weeks to complete. Small sections should be taught weekly
to allow learners time to learn and perform technical movements correctly.
• One lesson per week should be allocated to this PAT during the school timetable
and should include both practical and written sections.
• Additional time during intervals and after school may be organised between the
teacher and learners for feedback and individual attention.
• The final assessment date must be provided in advance.
7.2 STRUCTURE OF THE GROUP DANCE
• The group dance must be set in the dance major that will be performed in the
final practical examination. No mix of styles is permitted.
• Each group dance should be approximately 3 minutes with 3–6 learners per
group.
• It should be set at the highest level of complexity that the learners can manage
and challenge their ability. This will strengthen and develop their technique and
enhance their performance quality.
• The learners should be made aware of:
o Spatial awareness/working with others in space
o Transitions
o Patterning and timing
o Sensitive/expressive interaction with other dancers/ partnering
o Eye contact/focus/projection/presence
o Variations in dynamics and building an atmosphere/energy
o Musicality

PAT and should not consist of pages rewritten from the text book.
• Teachers need to mark written work on a regular basis and provide feedback for
improvement. This should not be left until the last minute/final assessment.
• The teacher will be responsible for collecting all learner journals once the PAT is
completed for provincial moderation.
7.4 WRITTEN CONTENT SHOULD INCLUDE
• Naming and explaining the main principles used in their dance major.
