Eight large wall charts were developed by the
Ministry of Education to support the teaching of dance as described
in The Arts in the New Zealand Curriculum. This material provides dance
exercises, discussion ideas and background information related to
each chart.
There are two resources under each strand, corresponding
to the charts for years 1–6 and years 7–10. To select
the chart resource required, click on the appropriate year range.

| Developing Practical Knowledge in Dance – Chart 1 |
Years 1–6
Years 7–10
In this strand, students explore and use the vocabularies, practices,
and technologies of different dance forms, genres, and styles. They
use the elements of dance to explore how the body moves and the body's
relationship in movement to other people, objects, and environments.
|
| Developing Ideas in Dance – Chart 2 |
Years 1–6
Years 7–10
In this strand, students initiate, develop, conceptualise, and refine
ideas in dance through the creative process of choreography. They
use dance ideas derived from such sources as imagination, feelings,
experiences, or given stimuli. They manipulate the elements of dance
to develop dance works, individually and in groups. |
| Communicating and Interpreting in Dance – Chart 3 |
Years 1–6
Years 7–10
In this strand, students develop knowledge and understanding of how
dance communicates and is interpreted and evaluated. As dancers, they
learn, rehearse, and share dance works and perform them to a variety
of audiences in formal and informal settings. They develop performance
skills and reflect on and evaluate their own dance. |
| Understanding Dance in Context – Chart 4 |
Years 1–6
Years 7–10
In this strand, students develop knowledge and understanding of the
forms and purposes of dance and its integral part in past and present
cultures and societies. They come to appreciate that dance is firmly
rooted in tradition yet constantly evolving to reflect changes in
contemporary culture. |
