Dance Lesson - Jumps and Turns

Ask your students to explore different types of jumps and turns with this in-depth dance lesson. Students examine some of the mechanics of jumps and turns, before brainstorming different types. They use this knowledge to combine dance steps and create their own dance sequence inspired by Rube Goldberg machines.

The extensive teacher support resources makes this lesson perfect for any teacher, no matter your dance experience.

This lesson includes outcomes/standards for the Australian Curriculum, New Zealand Curriculum and the National Core Arts Standards.
