Suggested combinations:

  • jump very quickly, slowly reduce speed via natural tempo and repeat sequence the other way round;
  • jump with one foot and knock the heels against each other in the air on the opposite side, land on both feet;
  • jump while swinging arms forward, backward and in circles;
  • create own combination.

Limp paces/Hops

Explore hop variations with free leg high up forward or bent sideways; with free leg stretched forward, sideways or backward;

Hop a number of times with right foot towards your left side, then to your right hand side with your left foot; hop in one spot, swing free leg forward and backward on sequential hops.

Create own combination.

Activity 2 (explore relationships through dance)

Work in pairs

Choose a classmate and move together to form a perfect unit, e.g. hop up and down together, decrease the hop slowly until both have stopped completely. Breathe and start hopping together again without speaking to each other (a phrase starts with a standstill, grows into big hops, and fades).

Stand in front of a classmate with the palms open and pointing towards each other. Remain in this mirror image, go down to the floor and come up again, remain exactly opposite each other while hands move away from each other (spread), rise on toes, etc., watch mate’s hands all the time.

Follow the leader

Follow a leader who determines way of movement and pace; changes way of moving or direction, imitate changes as quickly as possible; retain rank formation.

Single-pair work

Study own preferred sleeping positions. Concentrate and memorise three of these positions. Move naturally in slow action from one position to the next. Repeat a few times. Choose a partner to work with, memorise each other’s positions and do these moving positions together.

[LO 3.2]

Work in contrast

Work with a partner or in a small group. Learner A (or half the group) stretches (spreads) the body for four counts in a flowing manner and makes the movement as big as possible, followed by slow contraction (make body as small as possible) for four counts in another form. Continue with these actions and repeat with different forms each time. Learner B (or other half of group) starts with the contraction, but uses four pulse counts to contract and four to stretch (keep time with a given rhythm).

Create own combinations.

Answer the following questions once you have finished:

  1. Give an example of locomotor movements.
  2. What does non-locomotor movement mean?
  3. Where are the following levels?

Low level

Middle level

High level

  1. What happens when someone bumps into you?
  2. How do you feel about it?
  3. How can you ensure that everybody dances together in a save environment?
