KS3 DANCE SOW AND 18 LESSON PLANS - 3 Topics

This SoW is broken down into 3 half terms (18 lessons), covering either 3 year groups or 3 units of work. It is a comprehensive unit featuring practical and theoretical tasks, providing students with a solid foundation for progression into KS4 or to simply gain some new skills. Each lesson within the scheme of work is outlined by a brief lesson overview. Attached are supporting lesson plans to cover all 18 lessons. Notes for teaching staff to work from are listed, and adaptations can be made as required. Video links to appropriate videos also attached.

Topics include;
World dance - Haka, African, Capoeira, Bollywood, Samba and assessment lesson.
Urban dance - Top rocks, 2/3 steps, coffee grinder, monkey flip, pin drop, hinge, baby freeze, tutting, shoulder stand, partnering, jamming and breaking and assessment.
Professional works - 5 Soldiers, Break up story, Cacti, Swan Song, technique and assessment.

Upon completion of the unit, students will have a plethora of knowledge which they can apply to their future learning or study. It is hoped that students will have improved upon their technical ability, creative skills and theoretical understanding by the end of the SoWs. Prompts for linked learning are evident throughout.

Please note - this is not a SoW verified by an examination board, it is simply my interpretation and knowledge as a professional practitioner of dance, following a career in the industry and teaching profession. I have added the unit on a page overview for each SoW at the front of the unit - free of charge.

Also available to purchase are other KS3 choreography / technique SoWs and resources, as well as further KS4 BTEC Dance documents, including SoWs, student work booklet and units on a page.
