- Listen as the teacher plays different kinds of music. Create and perform movement that suits a particular piece of music. Then create and perform movement that contrasts with (does not suit) the music; discuss the difference.
- Discuss the way that movements are suited to different social events (i.e., by comparing spectators doing the wave at a sporting event to students walking in pairs down the aisle at their graduation ceremony).

- Create dances using choreographic devices, such as expansion, diminution, and reverse.
- Choreograph a narrative dance that shows relationships, such as friendship.
