Dance Terminology Booklet (Cover Work/ Computer Room Work)

This Dance Terminology Booklet is a must-have resource for every secondary dance teacher, providing a ready-made, high-quality solution for lessons, revision, and cover. Packed with the essential vocabulary students need to succeed in both practical and written work, the booklet is structured so learners record the key definition alongside each term. This not only secures their subject knowledge but also trains them to use technical language fluently — a skill that examiners and Ofsted look for when judging the strength of a performing arts curriculum.

What makes this resource so valuable is its flexibility. It can be used as a standalone theory lesson, for homework, or as emergency cover work when planning changes unexpectedly. Instead of wasting valuable time or setting filler tasks, you can ensure students are engaged in meaningful, curriculum-driven learning that clearly evidences progress and intent. The booklet also doubles as a revision tool, helping students to consolidate terminology ahead of assessments, making it a long-term investment that can be used year after year.

Teachers who have used this resource describe it as a lifesaver — it fills gaps in the timetable with purposeful activity, gives students ownership of their learning, and ensures every lesson looks professional and well-planned. With Ofsted increasingly focused on knowledge, literacy, and subject-specific vocabulary, this booklet provides exactly the kind of structured, high-quality work inspectors want to see. It is simple to deliver, easy to adapt, and ensures your students are always reinforcing the terminology that underpins success in Dance.
