Dance Mania At Liscarroll National School The students have just completed a 6 week block of the Dance Strand of the P.E. Curriculum. Check out this video of the final performance day! ![]() Dance differs from the other aspects of the physical education programme in that the primary concern is with the expressive quality of movement and the enjoyment and appreciation of the aesthetic and artistic qualities of movement. The dance programme involves the child in a range of creative and folk dance. When creating dance, the child explores a range of body parts, body actions and body shapes. Concepts relating to the body in space, the changing dynamics of movement and the implications of moving in relation to another person and his/her environment are explored. The child is encouraged to dance in response to different stimuli and accompaniment and to view dance performance. The child's concept of what a dance is can be enriched by opportunities to see and appraise the more accomplished work of others. |
