Dance covers a range of themes, some related to foundation subjects being studied, whilst other dances include those from different times, places and cultures.  Emphasis is placed on working in a number of situations, individually, in 2’s and in small groups creating dances with motifs raising awareness of rhythmic, dynamic and expressive qualities.
