//It is expected that students will:// || Suggested Achievement Indicators //The following set of indicators may be used to assess student achievement for each corresponding prescribed learning outcome. Students who have fully met the prescribed learning outcome are able to:// ||
 * Prescribed Learning Outcomes
 * use the elements of movement in combination || demonstrate through improvisation a variety of movement combinations, alone and in groups, that:
 * incorporate various types of locomotor and non-locomotor movement (body)
 * incorporate various directions, pathways, formations, and stage facings (e.g., facing the diagonal, facing back) (space)
 * respond to the rhythm and phrasing of a music selection that includes moments of stillness (time)
 * include moments of relaxation and moments of tension (dynamics)
 * include interactions among two or more dancers (e.g., simple lifts, exits and entrances) (relationship)

use appropriate terminology to describe the elements of movement (e.g., stage facing, tension) || [here and/or in Elements?] Reword use movement sequences in a variety of choreographic forms, individually and with others. || demonstrate familiarity with various choreographic forms represented in a range of cultures
 * create movement sequences using choreographic forms, individually and with others

create (demonstrate, not create) new movement sequences following a given pattern or narrative choreographic form (e.g., entrances and exits within a piece, complex canon)

teach a dance sequence they have developed (remove 'they have developed') to peers or younger students ||
 * demonstrate technique associated with particular dance styles || demonstrate a specified step or movement from a particular dance style they have viewed or learned (e.g., step-ball-change)

compare the use of a specific technique represented in a variety of styles (e.g., step-ball-change in jazz = chassé in ballet = waltz step = polka step) ||
 * apply the principles of movement to dance

From a generalist point of view what is the difference between principles of movement and elements of prinicples? Glossary needed || demonstrate appropriate alignment in non-locomotor movements (e.g., turnout, appropriate extension through limbs)

demonstrate appropriate alignment in locomotor movements (e.g., turnout while moving, posture and extension while moving)

demonstrate assisted balance with a partner (balance)

in warmup, demonstrate an improvement in their range of motion over time (flexibility)

in warmup, demonstrate improvement in strength over time (e.g., increase in frequency, intensity, and duration)

breathe through their stretches

identify and constructively critique the use of principles of movement in their own dance performances ||
 * apply health and safety considerations to movement || demonstrate knowledge of health and safety issues related to participation in dance (e.g., repetitive strain injuries, eating disorders)

identify practices or actions that they can take to reduce risks or respond to problems associated with dance-related health issues (e.g., maintaining overall physical fitness, adequate nutrition)

describe and explain the importance of specific components of appropriate warmup and cooldown (e.g., stretches, body-part isolations)

consistently perform warmup and cooldown routines when engaging in dance activities ||
