Elements of Dance Concepts Poster Set (Grades 1-8)

As a teacher new to teaching dancing, I wanted to create something simple to display in my classroom that would anchor myself and my students. My dance unit begins with a focus on the Elements of Dance: Body, Space, Time, Energy, and Relationship. I have created posters of the five different elements. As I teach, I add the concepts that we study beneath each element to build on the poster. These posters are something that my students and I will return to time after time, when creating new movement and dance sequences.

The Elements of Dance remain consistent throughout the grades, but the concepts vary, which I highlight in the concepts tables that I have included. My posters are designed to match the Ontario Curriculum (5 elements with 46 concepts), although I’m sure the concepts would apply to many different curriculums as well.
