Content Standards:: IV. Critical and Creative Thinking: Applying and demonstrating critical and creative thinking skills in dance.
Standards:
A. Create a dance and revise it over time, articulating why they made the artistic decisions that they did and what was lost or gained by those decisions.
B. Compare and contrast two subtly differing dance compositions in terms of space (e.g., shape, pathways), time (e.g., rhythm, tempo), and force/energy/movement qualities (e.g., weight, flow).
C. Develop a set of aesthetic criteria and apply them in evaluating their own dance work and that of others.
D. Formulate and answer their own aesthetic questions (e.g., "What is it that makes a particular dance unique?" "How much can one change a dance before it becomes a different dance?").
E. Demonstrate appropriate audience behavior while watching and responding to dance performances.
