Dance Pedagogy

TASK: create a 5 min exercise with knowledge of contemporary dance for beginners of 13-15 years old.

As I have never had the opportunity to teach adolescents before, I decided to go for improvisation in partners:) It explores the weight.
  1. Face each other, feet comfortably balanced, arms forward and slightly bent with palms resting against partner's palms. Take turns passively leaning forward into your partner's palms, allowing him to support your weight. Try to develop a trust in passively giving your body weight and receiving your partner's body weight.
  2. Do the same and try to balance yourself with one leg forward and one leg backward.
  3. With feet comfortably together and knees bent, hold hands at the wrist and lean back away from each other. Play with moving up and down, sideways.
Leading and following

Facing each other with only fingertips touching, take turns alowly moving, with one partner doing a free pattern of movement and the other following. Explore all the space...
