MOVING WITH EMOTION
WE ARE GOING TO BE EXPLORING HOW TO EXPRESS OUR
EMOTIONS THROUGH DANCE.
EVERYONE HAS EMOTIONS AND EMOTIONS ARE JUST
NORMAL.
DANCE MOVEMENTS ARE A WONDERFUL WAY TO DISPLAY
DIFFERENT EMOTIONS.
LET’S LOOK AT WHAT DANCE ELEMENTS HELP TO DISPLAY
EMOTIONS.
FIRST OF ALL, LET’S REMEMBER THE ELEMENTS OF DANCE CHOREOGRAPHY.
