Dance Creation Project

This document outlines an assignment where students will work in groups of 3-5 to create, practice, and teach an original dance. The dance must be approximately 1 minute long and include 3 sections (A, B, C). Students must write out the steps of the dance with names and descriptions. They will be graded based on how well rehearsed their dance appears, the thoroughness of their written description, how equal all members' roles were, and the enthusiasm shown during their performance.
