Dance Lesson Plan
Dance Lesson Plan
The theme of the lesson surrounds the story of Tiddalick the frog. The students are required
to come up with a short dance sequence that encapsulates elements and characters from the
story using body actions and movements. They will need to work together in groups to
choreograph the dance using safe dance practice. They will need to perform the dance using
technical and expressive skills to communicate the ideas of the dreamtime story.
Improvise and structure movement ideas for dance sequences using safe dance practice, the
elements of dance and choreographic devices (VCADAE025)
Use choreographic devices to organise dance sequences, and practise body actions and
technical skills (VCADAD026)
Identify how the elements of dance and production elements express ideas in dance they

Perform dances using technical and expressive skills to communicate ideas and intentions to
an audience (VCADAP027)
Assessment
Formative Assessment: The students will be assessed in their ability to work together to
come up with movements and dance sequences that are related to either elements on the
story (e,g water) or the characters of the story (e.g frog, kangaroo, worm, kookaburra)
Summative Assessment: The students will be assessed on the final group performance, how
readable the characters are, how well their ideas are expressed through the body actions
and their technical skills.
