Evaluation When assessing an individual student, teachers should listen to and observe the student's discussions, dance explorations and creations. Space Space is the medium in dance. As dancers move through space, their bodies create patterns on the floor and in the air. These spatial designs are an integral part of dance, giving dancers a purposeful reason for moving. At this level, space is an abstract concept for students.
General space is the dance space.
Students should have a clear understanding of the boundaries, set by the teacher, of their general space. Personal space is the space which can be reached without travelling, much like a bubble surrounding the student. Students take their personal space with them as they travel through general space. Grade one students will also learn about directions, pathways, shapes and sizes.
