Our dance lesson plans support teachers in delivering high-quality, curriculum-mapped dance across KS1 and KS2.
-
Pupils progress from simple movement patterns and travelling actions to more complex motifs, canon, unison, character work and expressive performance.
-
Each unit develops declarative knowledge by helping children understand dance vocabulary, performance quality and composition, while procedural knowledge is built through creating, practising and refining movement phrases with control, accuracy and rhythm. The lessons also nurture imagination, communication, collaboration and self-expression, supporting children’s social, emotional and cognitive development.

For schools looking for primary PE resources that make dance accessible, creative and easy to teach, this Unit of Work offers a strong and progressive pathway.
