1. INTRODUCTION
The 18 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; Technical Mathematics
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 ONE performance assessment task (PAT).
2. PAT COMPLIANCE WITH REGARD TO NSC FINAL RESULTS
This 2021 PAT document should be implemented in all provinces by teachers and schools
offering Grade 12 Dance Studies. The purpose of this guideline is to provide detailed
instructions for teachers and learners on how to administer and manage the PAT content to
meet CAPS requirements for external moderation of compliance.
The PAT (100 MARKS) constitutes a quarter of the final year marks (25%) and should be
given the time and attention it deserves within the 4 hours allocated per week, per term,
plus additional time after school as indicated in the CAPS.

3. PAT IMPLEMENTATION
The PAT should be implemented across the first two terms of the school year.
The PAT is ongoing as against a one-off test/examination and multiple opportunities
should be provided by the teacher for the learners to keep improving as they receive
guidance and develop skills.
The PAT assists teachers in determining learners' understanding right away as it involves
active learning which makes learning visible.
The PAT is a compulsory component of the final Grade 12 FET promotion mark.
It is therefore important that schools ensure that all learners complete the PATs within the
stipulated period – end of Term 2.
Failure to complete the PAT will result in an incomplete/not resulted mark at the end of the
year.
TERM 1 TERM 2 PAT YEAR MARK
PAT PROCESS PAT PRODUCT (25%)
30 marks written 20 marks written
30 marks practical 20 marks practical 100 MARKS
60 MARKS 40 MARKS
4. DISABILITY/ILLNESS/INJURY
A disabled learner enrolled at the start of this FET subject (Grade 10) 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 to 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 before/after the birth of her child but within the school
year.
The PAT component can be adapted to allow participation of injured learners in the final
performance, e.g. performing on a chair/wheelchair/standing/minimal movement.

6. PURPOSE/BENEFITS OF THE PAT (within the General Aims of CAPS – page 8
and within the Specific Aims of Dance Studies – page 9 in the CAPS
document)
CONTENT, SKILLS, ATTITUDES AND VALUES
The practical assessment task (PAT) consists of both theoretical and practical sections with a
50/50 weighting of allocated marks. The theory should be integrated and applied within the
practical section.
The PAT serve to strengthen the higher-order thinking and performing skills needed in the final
written Paper 1 and practical Paper 2 NSC examinations.
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.
[Source: http://blog.awwapp.com/6-cs-of-education-classroom/]
The PAT encourages an active and critical learning approach to learning, rather than rote
learning of given truths.
The subject Dance Studies teaches learners essential life skills needed in the 21st century.
The PAT teaches far more than dance and performance skills.

Dance Studies 6 DBE/PAT 2021
NSC
The PAT Allows Learners to Develop Skills Experienced in Real-life Situations Such As:
Critical thinking and problem solving:
Critical thinking is the process of filtering, analysing and questioning information/content found
in various media, and then synthesizing it in a form that has a value to an individual. It allows
learners to make sense of the presented content and to apply it to their daily lives.
Collaboration:
Collaboration is a skill of utilising various personalities, talents and knowledge in a way to
create a maximum outcome. The outcome must benefit the entire community or a group.
Due to synergy, the common outcome has a greater value than a sum of values of each
outcome.
Communication:
Communication is a skill of presenting information in a clear, concise and meaningful way.
It also designates careful listening and articulating thoughts. Communication has various
purposes: informing, instructing, motivating and persuading.
Creativity:
In the 21st century, an individual must be able to create something new or create something in
a new way, utilising the knowledge he/she has already acquired. It does not just signify art, but
also various solutions to a problem in real-life situations.
Citizenship/Culture:
An individual needs to be in touch with everything that surrounds him/her – both culture and
community.
Character education/Connectivity:
Understanding the importance of human connectivity in the world filled with technology is a
necessary skill. Character education includes school's commitment to helping young people
become responsible, caring and contributing citizens.

Dance Studies 7 DBE/PAT 2021
NSC
The weighting of practical and theoretical = 50/50 must be included in all planning.
The PAT could be started in Grade 11 and then developed further in Grade 12. This could
be an ideal way to manage large numbers of learners in a class and could eliminate undue
stress in the learners and increase their development of confidence, creativity and
performance quality.
School timetables should indicate the correct amount of time allocated to the PAT over two
terms. Learners need to be supervised throughout the process and may not be given work
to do unsupervised on their own outside of the school timetable. This includes both the
practical and written components which need to be factored into the term planning.
Teachers are responsible for managing their learners after school hours/shared time for
the use of venues/equipment, etc. and ensuring their safety which means teachers must
be on site with their learners.
Teachers are responsible for keeping a register of attendance for all lessons (during
school/after school/additional times) for all learners as well as their involvement for a valid
and reliable process/product mark.
Teachers are responsible for creating a DVD/electronic version of all learners' PATs for
external moderation purposes. The filming should be included in the timeframe for
planning as this is a compulsory requirement.
WHY teachers need to plan carefully
Identify core values to be incorporated into the PAT planning; life skills as well as
performance skills are to be taught (content, concepts, skills, competencies, values and
attitudes).
Any form of creativity takes time to conceptualise. Quality thinking and experimentation will
need sufficient time and guidance from the teacher for learners to realise how to achieve
their creative ideas.
Consider different learning styles so all learners can reach their full potential.
HOW to implement this through teacher lesson planning
A breakdown of teaching methodologies/teaching strategies for each weekly lesson
corresponding directly to the learner briefs for the term, indicating:
o How each activity is an essential part of the building blocks for completion of the PAT
and linking this to the final breakdown of the marks (see mark sheet).
o LTSM (learner, teacher support material) to include inspirational reading, viewing,
listening material as well as reference to pages in the learner textbook for further
guidance/ideas and knowledge. Indicate how this will be used to empower personal
growth/development of the learner for the completion of the PAT.
o Adaptable tasks so they can challenge a wide range of learning styles and abilities.
o Indicate how tasks/adjustments will be made for disabled/injured/ill learners and how
this amended assessment will comply with the PAT requirements/time frames.
o Intervention strategies on how to help learners achieve their goals.
o A timeline of dates for sections to be completed to provide learners with feedback for
improvement/growth in the process.
o For learners to plan and prepare adequately, final assessment dates are to be
provided in the brief.

NSC
8. TEACHER GUIDELINES FOR DEVELOPING A LEARNER BRIEF
Areas to include:
Inspiration:
Provide visual stimuli to instil creativity, enthusiasm and vigour.
Many learners may not have been exposed to viewing a wide range of choreographic
works currently available in theatres/YouTube/video, etc. Find works that link to the PAT
that include new/innovate trends in choreography/the use of dance fusion/production
elements/music/accompaniment and technology.
Find dance works that will inspire learners in developing their own technique, performance
quality and creativity.
Have a wide range of improvisation activities to guide learners in creating appropriate
movement vocabulary for their compositions.
Instructions/Guidance:
Provide detailed learner briefs at the start of each term outlining how each lesson/step will
progress and be assessed = timeline.
Teachers are responsible for ensuring each learner has a designated journal for the written
content of the process and product of the PAT. This may not be done in the task book for
general study purposes as the journal will be submitted for external moderation.
The learner brief must be pasted in the learners' journals for moderation purposes and
verification of marks.
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 or a group effort from the class or
peers working in a group.
The briefs should include reference pages to the textbook relevant to the PAT.
Marking criteria:
Learners must receive the marking criteria (mark sheet and rubric) before commencement
of the PAT to guide their planning and preparation.
Teachers need to read the written work on a regular basis and provide feedback for
improvement. This should be evident in the remarks on work/dates/signatures in the
learner journals.
Teachers must provide regular feedback on the practical components for improvement in
the practical components of the PAT.
Once the PAT is completed all learner journals and evidence of the process must be
available for internal HoD/provincial/DBE/Umalusi moderation.
9. TEACHER GUIDELINES FOR DEVELOPING THE CHOREOGRAPHY PAT
In the case of large numbers of Grade 12 dance learners, the teacher is at liberty of
placing the learners in groups of 3 to 6 learners.
Learners can choreograph one group dance collectively (especially if there are large
numbers of Grade 12 learners) or choreograph individually.
If choreographing in a group providing one choreographic work, all members of the group
are to contribute towards this work.
If there are only 1 or 2 Grade 12 learners, dancers from other grades could be used to
dance in the choreography/dance work. The PAT requires learners to produce a group
dance, they may not produce a solo or duet.
The dance work should not exceed 3 minutes because of time restraints at school.
Quality vs. quantity. Teachers should guide learners to select the most relevant material
developed over their planning and improvisation processes for their final product.
A letter of authenticity is required from each learner declaring that their choreography has
not been plagiarized.

Dance Studies 9 DBE/PAT 2021
NSC
Teachers should assist learners in providing a selection of music for learners/groups to
choose from if they are unable to find their own music. Not all learners will have access to
a wide range of suitable music. Teachers should also guide and assist in the final
selection, fading, cutting and collection of music for final assessment and moderation.
Teachers may use the school Wi-Fi connectivity/overhead projectors connected to a laptop
or cellphones to access the relevant electronic examples of the content provided in this
PAT document.
9.1 Time Frame
This PAT is done in term 1 and 2. It should take approximately 8 to 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 to 3 minutes in total length.
One lesson per week (within the 8-to-10-week period for completion) should be allocated to
this PAT on the school timetable. This should include both the practical and written
sections.
Additional time during intervals and after school may be organised between the teacher
and the learners for feedback and individual attention. This will allow teachers to help
groups with any area/blocks they may encounter as well as provide advice for
improvement.
Final assessment dates must be provided to learners/schools in advance.
9.2 Constructing a Dance Work
Teachers will need to assist in the following processes and include this in their lesson
plans:
Putting a thought process into a concrete concept for evaluation.
Researching/Investigating the chosen theme.
Using improvisation/exploration/abstraction/symbolism to create a relevant movement
vocabulary.
Interpreting a given idea/theme/story into the movement vocabulary.
Incorporating dance elements – space, time and force.
Selecting and incorporating appropriate choreographic structures/devices.
The choice of music for the work and how it will enhance the work.
Selecting a suitable performance space for the dance work (conventional/
non-conventional).
Designing production elements for the dance work. 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 having an unlimited budget. Relevance/Symbolism must be
included as to how these elements will enhance the meaning of the work. This could be
linked to prescribed dance works they are studying.
Rehearsing and mastering of the dance work for a final performance to include safe dance
practice, technique and performance quality.
Designing a one-page programme note – this can be done in the journal or on a separate
piece of A4 piece of paper or electronically. It should show relevance, meaning and
understanding of a synopsis/intent/idea and be a creative, informative presentation.
Reflection on how the group worked (interactions, giving positive and negative
observations).
Self-reflection on the process – own strengths/weaknesses/growth.

9.5 Ideas to Guide Learners Wishing to Choreograph for Camera
1. Expose learners to examples of dance works specifically created for the camera (film)
as it is not the same as filming a work created for a performance space. Choreographing for the
camera allows for a wide range of technology/multimedia, etc. to be included in the dance work.
There are excellent examples included in the learner guide section.

10. ASSESSMENT AND MODERATION
● The mark sheets on pages 17 and 20 must be used to capture the marks for each section
required in the completion of this PAT.
● The marking rubrics on pages 18 and 21 explain the awarding of marks according to
learner achievement.
● Teachers should create their learner briefs outlining step by step instructions for the
learners (see page 6).
● The weighting is 50/50 for the practical and written content and may not be adjusted.
● Each learner is marked individually reflecting their contribution and participation on 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.
● The PAT can be done as a public performance/school performance/assembly or in the
dance class. It could be performed in a conventional/non-conventional performance
space.
● The PAT could have been choreographed specifically for filming (if so all the requirements
for completion remain the same). Learners are not taught film techniques as part of
the curriculum so this should not be factored into the awarding of marks.
● Teachers are responsible for compiling a DVD of each learner's choreography and
collecting all journals/programme notes if separate, for external moderation.
● Mark sheets with learners' names, date of assessment, signatures and marks must be in
the teacher file along with the rubric used for assessing the choreographies.
● Guest teachers may be invited to assist in the PAT assessments.

11. LEARNER GUIDELINES
11.1 Choreography Practical Assessment Task
● The PAT is worth 25% of your final Grade 12 marks and consists of 50 marks written
content and 50 marks practical content.
● This PAT must be developed over term 1: the process, and term 2: the final product.
● Before commencing with the planning, your teacher should provide the final marking
requirements to complete the PAT successfully.
● Failure to complete this PAT will result in an incomplete year mark.
● The PAT should take approximately 8 to 10 weeks to complete. You should have ONE
lesson per week allocated during school time.
● Additional time should be allocated each week during intervals or after school and
schedule individual time with your teacher to present a meaningful PAT choreography.
● You are required to supply a journal separate to your work/task book for the PAT.
● You can work in groups of 3 to 6 in your dance class to complete a 2-to-3-minute group
choreography. You may perform in this choreography.
● Each group member must participate fully in the process of developing an idea from its
initial stages to the final production of a completed work.
● You may also choreograph on your own with a group of dancers.
● This PAT will test your ability to work as a team and to show leadership qualities and
initiative.
● As a group and individually you will be required to cooperate, communicate and solve
problems.
● You should have a signed letter of authenticity pasted in your journal as proof that this is
your work. Plagiarism will not be accepted and will result in a zero mark.
● A copy of your PAT brief provided by your teacher must be pasted in your journal.
● All written work should be dated to show your progression throughout this brief.
● The planning and creating you do in your journal is a process which needs regular
reflection and documents all your ideas leading up to the final product.
● Most importantly take this opportunity to develop your creativity, innovativeness
and originality. INDIVIDUALITY IS SOMETHING TO BE CELEBRATED.

11.3 Research Ideas for Selecting a Final Theme/Intent
A. POSTERS/SLOGANS COULD BE AN INSPIRATION:
'Let's make something together while we are apart to
unite our community.'
[By Holly LaRoche of Dance Informa]
B. SOCIAL DISTANCING:
The social distancing of this current world has made it necessary for
everyone to make changes to their daily life. ' "Everyone" includes dancers,
who often depend on gathering together to get things done — to take class, to
rehearse, to teach and to learn, to inspire and be inspired.' [By Tracie Stanfield]

C. CLOSURES:
Many cafés and restaurants
have been forced to close to
curb the spread of the virus.
Paper cut-outs of customers
are sitting at tables. (This
could be an idea to
incorporate into your work).

[Source: https://www.theguardian.com/profile/jonathanjones]
'We are all Edward Hopper paintings now'
Who can fail to have been moved by all the images of people on their doorsteps clapping for the
NHS last night? They filled TV screens and news websites, presenting a warming picture of
solidarity in enforced solitude – all alone yet all together. But there are some far less
reassuring images circulating on social media. Some people are saying we now all exist inside
an Edward Hopper painting. It doesn't seem to matter which one.
I assume this is because we are coldly distanced from each other,
sitting at our lonely windows overlooking an eerily empty city, like
the woman perched on her bed in Morning Sun, or the other looking
out of a bay window in Cape Cod Morning.
With his deserted cityscapes and
isolated figures, the US painter
Edward Hopper captured the
loneliness and alienation of modern
life. But the pandemic has given his
work a terrifying new significance.

11.4 Planning for Camera/Film
If you are planning to choreograph for film it is different to filming a dance work to have a
record of it.
You do not need expensive cameras and most times your cellphone can do a great job.
The advantage of choreographing for a camera/a film is that you can shoot multiple scenes
in different locations. You can add special effects, still images, adjust colours, etc.
A good idea is to create a storyboard outlining the different locations/shots. Make sure
these locations will work before you start filming.
Once you have filmed the various sections you can use a variety of free apps to edit your
work and create any special affects you want to include. Apps such as Snapchat have a
variety of film filters.
Make sure, however, that while you are filming you keep your original theme/intent in mind.
Ask your teacher for advice before you proceed, as he/she will have lots of interesting
tips/information to assist you.

11.6 Check List
TERM 1 WRITTEN PROCESS IN YOUR JOURNAL = 30 MARKS √
1. Research/investigation into chosen theme/intent/idea. You can do this by viewing
dance works, reading up information on the internet, looking at images, reading
poems/quotes, newspaper articles, writing down words that would inspire movement that
relates to the final theme you choose for your work. All these ideas should be placed in
your journal. You can use the ideas provided as a starting point or find your own from
scratch.
2. How you used improvisation to develop
the movement vocabulary you will use in
your dance work. You need to write about
your journey starting to create the
movements for selection in your dance
work. These movements should be able to
tell your story through abstraction of
movements to create symbolic meaning.
You could use gestures, everyday
movements, emotions to create motifs as a
starting point. You might have
experimented with contact work, a fusion of
dance styles, etc.
3. You need to write about how or why you selected the music/accompaniment for your
dance work and how it enhanced the dance work. Include the name of the
composer/artist//group as well as the name of the piece. Analyse the style/genre of the
music, instrumentation and how the composition created emotion/meaning that helped to
tell the story of your work/enhance your work.
4. You need to write about how and
why you decided on your final
performance space for the work. If
you do not have a choice and have
to perform in your dance studio,
where would you have performed the
work and why?
It could be a conventional dance
space, such as a theatre or the
school hall, or a non-conventional
space, such as the corridors in the
school, the beach, a dirt road, a box,
etc.
If you chose to choreograph for a
film you need to document the
locations where you will film the
sections/whole work and why?
Once you have chosen your
performance space you will need to
write about how you will use dance
elements – space, time and force. The area you are performing in will affect how you use
these elements.
You will need to write about how you incorporated choreographic elements into space,
time and force e.g. unison, canon, symmetry, stillness, pattern, placement, direction, etc.
as well as beginning, middle, end.

Dance Studies 36 DBE/PAT 2021
NSC
5. You need to plan for the production elements you will use in your work. Even if you do
not have a budget and will only perform in the studio in rehearsal gear, you need to
imagine what you would use if you had an unlimited budget. You also need to provide
reasons for your choices and how they would enhance your dance work, create symbolic
meaning e.g.:
Costumes and the symbolism they will evoke in an audience e.g. white for purity, etc.
Sets/Props/Backdrops – describe or draw them and explain the reason for them
being used/incorporated into the movements.
Special effects/technology/lighting – such as projections onto a cyclorama, colours
used in the lighting, special lighting effects, etc. and how these would add to the dance
work.
Any other ideas you may have for the staging of your dance work. Dream big.
You can find blank
models on the

6. You will need to reflect on how your group worked as a team. Did you all contribute
equally, did you show respect and listen to each other's ideas, did you commit fully to the
process, come prepared for each lesson, be punctual, etc.
You will need to self-reflect on your own participation and development as a dancer and
as a person. What strengths have you discovered about yourself such as leadership,
conflict management, taking the lead, being able to follow, motivating others, etc.

YOUR CHECKLIST
TERM 1 PRACTICAL PROCESS DURING CLASS = 30 MARKS √
1. Preparedness and commitment, participation and contribution:
Come prepared with ideas, movements, stimuli, music, etc. for each lesson so no time
is wasted. You could improvise movement ideas at home or on your own to be prepared
for the next lesson so that you contribute movement ideas. This will also ensure
confidence and place less pressure on you as 'thinking on the spot' is not always easy.
You need to be committed to your group as well as to yourself so that you will do your
best – 100% in every lesson. Self-discipline and managing your own time is important.
Ensure that you attend dance classes/rehearsals regularly so that you may develop,
learn, contribute and participate in group discussion and ideas. Your contribution to
the group is not only bringing ideas but listening and considering others ideas. You
need to be part of solving problems/obstacles and finding creative solutions. You need
to think critically about what you and your group are creating. A positive attitude.
2. Improvisation showing critical thinking,
creativity and experimentation relevant
to the chosen theme:
You need to research then select a theme
first. Once this is done, you need to
improvise around that theme to develop a
suitable movement vocabulary. Your
movements will tell the story/theme/
emotions behind your ideas so need to be carefully selected.
You could use a wide range of stimuli as a starting point, such as images, poems,
words, props, e.g. boxes/chairs/tables.
You could develop motifs around words/gestures/every-day movements that express
the intent/idea behind your work. These can then become the foundation of your
movement vocabulary to be repeated with variations.
You need to experiment with dance elements and choreographic structures – space
time and force when you are improvising and keep changing their dynamics.
Experiment with new, different dance styles/genres or even fusing dance styles. You
can create your own new dance style. It might inspire something really exciting.
Record your ideas on your cellphone to evaluate, remember and use, as a reference
when developing your choreographic ideas further with the group members.

3. Experimentation with music/accompaniment – selection to enhance the
theme:
Listen to a variety of music/accompaniment – do not limit yourself to popular
music you like to listen to or one genre/style as this can be restrictive. If you
don't have access to a wide range of music genres ask your teacher to assist
you.
The music/accompaniment you select should enhance/add to your dance work and help
bring across the mood/emotion you want to create.
You could also choose not to use music and choreograph to a poem/words/a
conversation that is spoken while you perform. The words could be the motifs you
develop. Silence can be incorporated into your choreography.

Experiment with different music/accompaniment selections before you make your final
choice. The following areas are considerations you should take into account:
o Music based on different tempos, e.g. a slow song which could create a feeling of
sadness or a fast/upbeat song about joy.
o Music based on the different genres e.g. classical, African traditional music, jazz.
o Vocal sounds/chants and body percussion, e.g. clapping hands /finger
snaps/stamping feet/slaps.
o Instrumentation as each instrument has a particular sound/timbre, e.g. violin, drum
and flute.
Once you have selected your music/accompaniment you will adapt/experiment with
your movement ideas.
Each piece of music will have a specific mood, dynamic that you will have to consider
as well.
Page 116 in textbook describes different methods for experimentation.

4. Exploration of final performance presentation:
PRODUCTION ELEMENTS
You need to incorporate any production elements you plan on using into your
movement vocabulary, e.g. if you are using props such as sticks, boxes, chairs or
costumes such as jackets/hoodies/dresses, they need to be improvised with while you
are developing your movement vocabulary.
CONVENTIONAL VS NON CONVENTIONAL SPACES
Depending on where you have chosen to perform your dance work – conventional or
non-conventional spaces – you will need to consider this during rehearsals so you are
practising in the same size area as you will be performing in. A good idea is to mark off
the floor in your dance studio/classroom while rehearsing. This will prevent you from
having to change directions, positions, etc. when you get to rehearse in your chosen
performance space
EXPERIMENTING WITH DANCE AND CHOREOGRAPHIC ELEMENTS
When you are choreographing these two elements cannot be separated as they are linked.
While you are exploring space, consider the following choreographic structures:
Positive space: space that has something in it
Negative space: space with nothing in it
Levels: high, medium and low positions/ groupings
Pattern: a movement that is repeated/predictable
Direction: the way you are facing or the direction in
which your body is moving
Symmetry: refers to a sense of harmonious and beautiful proportion and balance.
Usually the same on one side as the other (mirror image)
Asymmetry: is when the two halves of something don't match or are unequal/each side
of the body is doing something different
Interlocking forms: forms and shapes created by two dancers
Size: the amount of space used could be very large or very small
While you are exploring time consider the following choreographic structures:
Timing: performing steps/sequences that perfectly match to music beats.
Tempo: this is the speed of the music which determines how quickly or slowly
movements will be performed.
Metre/beats: this is the time signature – how many beats per bar, e.g. 3 beats to the
bar used in a triplet/waltz/balance movements. This gives regularity of timing and a
predictable structure, e.g. 3/4 and 4/4.
Speed: how quickly or slowly a dancer moves.

NSC
Stillness: this does not mean a dancer has stopped dancing. It creates suspense,
anticipation and a means to linger, hold or pull. Stillness helps with phrasing. It is used
to re-draw attention and to accent something.
Duration: the length of time that a movement is held or how long it takes to perform.
This ranges from a short duration to a long duration.
Rhythms: the pattern of stressed and unstressed beats.
o Regular - structured, repetitive, easy, predictable, stable
o Irregular - unpredictable, uncertain, chaotic, unsettling
o Natural - birds tweeting, heartbeat, rain, storm
Timing relationships: dancers working in unison, canon, before/after other dancers,
slower/faster than other dancers, timing within movements/ lifts/ partnering
While you are exploring force consider the following choreographic structures:
Accent: To emphasise or stress a movement.
This can be done through changes to the
movement quality, force, level or shape –
making it different.
Weight: This is the weight of the movement. It
ranges from light to heavy.
Energy -This is the application of energy
applied to the movement. It ranges from low to
high.
Force: This is the force applied to the movement. It ranges from gentle to strong.
Some examples of movement qualities:
o Sustained: These movements are continuous, constant and flowing
o Swinging: These movements sway, shift and are pendulum like
o Suspended: These movements are pulled, hovering or hanging
o Collapsing: These movements are often falling, relaxed, faint, flopping or a
release
o Percussive: These movements are sudden, chopping, jagged and sharp
o Vibratory: These movements are buzzing, shaky, wobbly or quivering.
You also need to consider your beginning, ending and if there is a climax in your piece.

5. Teamwork, collaboration and problem
solving (people and time management
skills) Leadership and organisational
skills:
To ensure good teamwork and
collaboration with peers always listen
and partake in all elements regarding
the choreographic process. No idea is
a bad idea. Your ideas might be a
starting point for discussion and
experimentation.
Be kind to one another. Do not talk
while others are sharing their ideas. Do not turn down ideas even if you do not
agree with these ideas. Experiment with the ideas and figure out what works best.
To ensure you manage your time well, set deadlines for gathering resources such
as music, production elements and rehearsals.
Keep your journal/mobile device at hand in all discussions to ensure that what you
decide on practically could be recorded and added to your written work.
6 Safe dance practice during rehearsals:
Always remember to warm up properly
. before any dance activity.
Ensure you wear comfortable and free
moving clothing for rehearsals.
Ensure that your dance educator is
around or nearby if you scheduled
afternoon rehearsals on your own.
Practice correct dance techniques e.g.
correct posture and alignment, etc.
Do not attempt unfamiliar/uncontrolled/
risky movements without supervision.

YOUR CHECKLIST
TERM 2 ONE-PAGE PROGRAMME NOTE = 20 MARKS √
1. Compose your synopsis or find a suitable quote, poem article that
outlines or enhances the theme/intent of your work. It should make
your audience think about what they are about to see, e.g.:
'Most of us live our lives in ridiculous obligation to a machine
that … is always telling us to do more, have more, go places,
make more money. This is a wonderful time in which those
imperatives are loosened. And we have to ask ourselves: What
do we care about? What do we value? What do we love?'
[Sir Antony Gormley, like many artists, is documenting life during the Coronavirus pandemic.]
2. Information: Title of work/choreographer/dancers/music
Create an excellent title for your dance work related to your theme. E.g. if you used the
image and quote above your title could be …
What do we value? What do we love?
Include your name as the choreographer and the group's names as the dancers. You
could add a short interesting biography about YOUSELF.
Include the name/title of the music, the composer/artist/band
3. Layout/format and presentation – creativity, design elements and
attention to detail
Choose an image relating to your theme. It could also be a
photograph of your group or yourself.
Make use the school computer if you want to do it electronically or
have paper, pens, colours, cut-outs, etc. to use when making your
programme note.
Do a rough layout first so that you can see the design elements –
use of space on the page and balance.
You can do a poster style design or you could fold the A4 paper
and do a brochure style design.
It can be done on a computer or handmade especially by you.
Experiment before you select your final presentation ideas.
4. FINALLY: Check that your programme note is relevant to your dance
theme/intention/idea/title. The programme note will be used to assess the
theme of your choreography.

YOUR CHECKLIST
TERM 2 FINAL DANCE WORK = 20 MARKS √
1. Movement vocabulary used symbolically portrays the synopsis/intent/ theme with
clarity and insight:
You need to go back to the beginning, read your one page programme note and ask the
question: What the audience seeing, is it the same as what I have written in my synopsis?
This applies to a live performance of the choreography as well as choreography for
camera/film.
Does my beginning set the scene and my ending conclude the work?
Is there a climax highlighting the most important part of the work?
How do my movements convey the emotions/intent idea of the work?
Have I used the principles and techniques in the dance genre/s to assist in conveying
the message?
2. Use of performance space: Before the final performance of your choreography you need
to have a dress rehearsal to iron out any problems you might not have thought about. Here
are some guidelines:
If you are using a conventional performance space be sure to check:
o The floor is clean, ready to perform on
o All props/backdrops/scenery are in the correct position
o Entrances and exits onto/off the stage are clear
o The sound system and your music work. Check volume balances
o The lights work/are programmed for your performance
o Any special effects/video projections etc. have been tried/tested before the
performance
If you are using a non-conventional space be sure to check:
o It is available at the time you are planning to perform. This would also apply if you
are using your dance studio/room
o The area is safe to dance in/floor is clean ready to perform on
o You have taken into consideration where your audience will stand/be seated
o You have made allowances for how the music/accompaniment will be played
o The time of day – you might need natural light. If not, have you made allowances
for lighting as this is not a stage
o Entrances and exits to the performance area are clear
o If you are using props – how will they get onto the performance area
Use of production elements to enhance the theme/intent: Two things need to be
considered here:
2.1 You have not been able to use production elements in your final performance due to
lack of availability/finances, etc. You might be performing your choreography in the dance
studio in rehearsal gear. This is quite okay. However, part of your final mark is how you
planned for this in your journal. The marker/teacher should be able to imagine after
reading your planning designs in your journal what the production elements would have
been if you could have used them. You will not be penalised in any way if you have planned
well.
You must have the music ready on the day in the correct format for your teacher to play.
Discuss this beforehand. Have a rehearsal to check it all works/is compatible to the
system it is played off.
2.2 You have been able to incorporate production elements into your final choreography
performance. Be sure to check the following:
You must have the music ready on the day in the correct format for your teacher/sound
technician to play. Discuss this beforehand. Have a rehearsal to check it all works/is
compatible to the system it is played off.
Ensure that all group members have their costumes, props, make up, etc.
Make sure all on-stage props/special effects are in place
Check the lighting is the correct colour/s you requested during your dress rehearsal.
Any other special effects needed such as projections. etc.

If you are presenting a video/film as your final choreography the following areas will
be considered when marking:
Your use of performance space(s) in your film. How suitable were the chosen areas for
filming? How did they enhance the dance work/theme/intent?
How successfully you prepared the dancers for performing in these spaces
How creatively the space(s) was used.
Your use of production elements will include how you:
o Costumed your dancers
o If you considered the light when you were filming
o If you included stills, photos, images, special effects to assist in enhancing your
theme
o The angles/positions in which you filmed your dancers
o The music/accompaniment was effectively included in the film/video.
NOTE: Learners choreographing for camera/film will not be marked on editing or filming
techniques as this is not included in the curriculum training of learners. The same mark
sheet and rubric will be used to determine the success of the work.
3. Use of dance and choreographic elements: Your final dance work will be assessed on
your ability to use dance elements and choreographic elements/structures creatively and
effectively. This will link directly with your movement vocabulary outlined above. These are
some areas you might consider:
How did I use the space? Did I take risks, use it to enhance the theme/intent or did I
have all the dancers performing facing the front in a set formation and nothing much
else happened?
How did I use time? Did I interpret the music with artistic sensitivity and musicality or
did I just present all my dancers doing the same movements in time to every beat of the
music?
How did I use force? Did I show variations in force to symbolically represent my theme
or did my dancers do all the movements with the same intensity throughout?
4. Overall performance quality, complexity of movements, commitment, focus and team
work: The success of the final presentation will depend on how well you worked as a group.
These are areas you will need to demonstrate in your final performance:
Performance quality: This is the ability of the group to make meaning of the
movements you/they have selected. To dance with musicality and sensitivity. To make
an emotional impact on an audience/viewer. The quality that takes a dance work from
recall to personal interpretation.
The complexity of movements: This is the ability of the dancers to show high levels of
coordination, transitions, agility, control, range of movement, strength, endurance,
technique, principles of the dance genre/s presented.
Commitment: This is the ability of the dancers to fully commit to the intent/theme of the
work as well as to each movement and the other dancers in the performance. To lose
themselves in the work.
Focus and team work: This is the ability to be totally in the moment. Nothing else
distracts you as a dancer. You are present in the work and fully aware of those you are
performing with and as such can react to changing situations/emotions/conditions.
