This is a resource for teachers of Pearson BTEC Level 1/Level 2 Tech Award in Performing Arts Unit 1: Exploring the Performing Arts and are up to the presentation/promotional material task. This resource in intended to be used at a point where pupils have a good knowledge of the practitioners and repertoire that they are studying (preferably after the research journal task). This resource is a very general guide though what is needed in their presentations/ promotional material which is broken up into 6 lessons to chunk it down in easy to manage tasks. This resource references 3 performing arts practitioners: Kenrick Sandy (Dance), Mark Wheeller (Drama) and Frantic Assembly (Physical Theatre). However, this can be very easily adapted for your chosen practitioners.

This document is a hand out that I would give to EYFS, KS1 and KS2 teachers at the end of a practical dance CPD training session. It contains the basics of teaching dance at EYFS, KS1 and KS2. My training sessions have been taking place since dance appeared on the national curriculum and they were in demand as a lot of teachers were unsure how to approach dance in an enriching way. Whether you are an experienced primary school dance teacher wanting to check you are delivering dance in a way that nourishes creativity or a primary teacher who has never taught dance before and feels out of their depth, take a look at this free resource.
