Learning Goal: I’m working on a dance multi-part question and need guidance to help me learn.
I will attached 4 different dances from a concert and there are 4 questions total in this assignment. You need only to choose one dance to answer 4 questions, so each question will have one dance that you choose best for the question. You must write a minimum of 250 words per dance, organized as a 3-paragraph mini-essay with an introduction, a substantial body paragraph, and a conclusion. Clearly state the name of the dance, the choreographer and the methodology for each question (describe, analyze, evaluate, interpret). Demonstrate your understanding of the Elements of Dance vocabulary and concepts. Also, clearly articulate your understanding of the different dance genres we have explored, including their unique characteristics. Lastly, include your knowledge of production elements as they relate to the overall pieces.
