What kind of movements do dances have?

The title for this post is an inquiry question one of the students asked. We understand that it is not enough to just randomly move your body and call it a dance. There are some specific ways to speak about the movements in dances. Ms. Karolina gave us a lesson to introduce some dance vocabulary.

Before we got started with the lesson we chose the attitudes we want to focus on during this unit. We came to an essential agreement that for this unit we will show the attitudes of enthusiasm, confidence, creativity and cooperation.
