"Dance Student Workbook – Choreography Journal"

An 8-section student companion workbook tracking choreographic development across a term — pairs with the full Choreographic Minds lesson series.
Full description:
Choreographers keep sketchbooks, journals, and voice notes throughout their process — this workbook gives students the same habit. Designed to be used across a full term, it’s a running record of choreographic thinking, not just movement, with sections that pair directly with specific lessons in the wider Choreographic Minds series.
Eight sections guide students from initial honesty about their own movement habits, through a Spine Positions Log (pairing with the Cunningham resource), a Blindfold/Sensory Discovery Log, and a Stimulus Response Tracker (pairing with rapid-solve, McGregor-style tasks), into a Choreographic Intent Draft-and-Redraft section that tracks how a student’s stated intent genuinely shifts across the development process. A Choreographic Devices Checklist keeps a running record of which devices have been used and where, a Weekly Reflection Log builds a photocopiable habit of ongoing reflection, and a Pre-Exam/Pre-Deadline Checklist consolidates everything into exam- or coursework-ready form.
Every section is designed to surface genuinely personal insight rather than generic description — prompting students to notice their own default movement habits, track how their thinking actually changes over a term, and arrive at a coursework deadline able to explain their choices with real specificity.
What’s included:
• 8 structured sections covering habits, logs, drafts, devices, and reflection
• Direct pairing with the Cunningham, Blindfold, and McGregor-style lessons
• A photocopiable Weekly Reflection Log for ongoing use
• A Pre-Exam/Pre-Deadline Checklist to consolidate the term’s work
Ideal for: Any KS4/5 Dance class working through a term-long choreographic project, especially alongside other resources in the Choreographic Minds series.
Format: Fully editable Word document, ready to print as a student booklet.
