A comprehensive sequence for 9th Grade PE focused on the artistic and athletic composition of gymnastics floor routines, moving from individual skills to a cohesive performance.
This 10th-grade gymnastics sequence guides students from performing isolated skills to composing fluid, artistic floor routines. It focuses on the choreography of transitions, spatial utilization, musicality, and peer feedback to enhance the aesthetic and athletic quality of gymnastics performances.
This 1st Grade Gymnastics sequence guides students from basic balance skills on lines and beams to creating and performing their first linked movement routine. Students explore dynamic balance, level changes, and rhythmic mirroring before synthesizing their learning into a creative performance.
A 12th-grade gymnastics unit focusing on the transition from individual skill mastery to artistic routine composition. Students learn to choreograph, refine, and perform a floor routine that emphasizes flow, spatial awareness, and aesthetic control.
This 7th-grade physical education sequence focuses on the artistic side of gymnastics, teaching students to transition between isolated tumbling skills to create a cohesive routine. Students will explore choreography, aesthetic extensions, and peer feedback to refine their movements before a final showcase.
A 5-lesson unit for 6th graders focused on the creative and technical aspects of gymnastics. Students learn to bridge isolated skills using transitions, levels, and rhythm, culminating in the performance of a self-choreographed floor routine.
A comprehensive 8th-grade gymnastics sequence focused on the transition from individual skill mastery to artistic routine composition. Students learn the principles of floor choreography, including levels, transitions, and rhythm, culminating in a polished performance showcase.
This 5-lesson sequence focuses on the artistic and rhythmic aspects of gymnastics, teaching 4th graders how to connect individual skills into a fluid routine. Students will master leaps, balances, and transitions, culminating in a choreographed floor performance.
A vibrant, song-filled introduction to the five food groups for early learners. Students explore the Rainbow Garden (fruits and veggies), the Strength Squad (protein and dairy), and the Energy Engine (grains) through interactive scripts and catchy melodies.
A whimsical introduction to ballet fundamentals for Pre-K students, using imaginative storytelling and metaphors to teach posture, first position, plié, relevé, and jumping. Students develop body awareness and grace through playful movement.
A foundational dance sequence for 1st graders focusing on spatial awareness (personal vs. general space), levels (high, middle, low), pathways, and basic locomotor movements like galloping and chassé.
A graduate-level intensive focusing on the intersection of somatic awareness and biomechanical efficiency in advanced dance technique. Students deconstruct habitual patterns and apply anatomical theory to optimize performance longevity and artistic clarity across multiple dance forms.
This sequence explores how rhythm and timing function as defining characteristics of various cultural dance forms, focusing on West African, Jazz, Latin, and Contemporary styles. Students will analyze and embody concepts such as polycentrism, swing, the clave, and rubato to understand the intersection of culture and musicality.
An advanced course for undergraduate students focusing on the neurological and somatic challenges of polyrhythmic movement and limb dissociation. Students progress from cognitive theory to complex physical improvisation.
A foundational sequence for Pre-K dancers focusing on spatial awareness, levels, and pathways to prepare them for choreography and safe group movement.
This Pre-K dance sequence explores balance, alignment, and emotional expression through nature-based imagery and storytelling. Students learn to ground themselves like trees, balance like flamingos, roll like logs, and express feelings through movement.
