How to Look at Dance

Overview
In this activity, students will practice discussing dance, by first observing and describing ordinary everyday movements. Then, students will apply a critical framework to describe, analyze, interpret, and evaluate dances. Students will write a four-sentence dance review; the same process can be used to review modern dance, hip hop, culturally specific dance, and more.
Dance is found in every culture and time period and is evolving all the time. The goal of this lesson is to demystify the discussion and vocabulary about dance through simple observation, description, guided analysis, and freely interpreting everyday activities. Knowledge of any particular dance technique is not needed for this activity.
