More About This Unit
What do our Year 2 Dance lesson plans cover?
In Key Stage One Dance, children should learn to move confidently and safely. Children should develop fundamental movement skills, linking different ways of travelling to music, with control.
Our Year 2 Dance lesson plans help children develop their imagination, express feelings and share ideas to create short dances.
Why are Dance lessons important for primary-age children?
Dance lessons are a crucial component of primary school PE. They give opportunities for children to master basic movements, develop fundamental movement skills and perform simple movement patterns – all key aspects of the National Curriculum.
Primary School Dance is also great for building confidence, developing social skills and allowing children to communicate their moods, feelings and ideas through simple compositions.
