Have students explore their movement ideas one part at a time. Select some of the movements to create contrasting dance phrases, A and B. Connect the dance phrases together, ABA, to create the dance composition with ternary form. Teacher Information Asking students to agree on one idea for a dance composition enables the teacher to guide the class in its dance explorations and creations. Teachers may find their students are able to develop their dance ideas independently with little guidance from the teacher. In this case, it is not necessary for the class to agree on one idea.
Form is the structure of dance.
Do not confuse this concept of form with dance forms, which are ballet, jazz, ethnic, social, ritual, etc.
