For example, dance phrases can increase in intensity of energy and speed to a high point before decreasing to a lull, or a narrative can build toward a highlight or a turning-point before being resolved. The resolution of a climax reveals the importance of what has occurred previously in the composition. In grade one to grade five, students focused on creating dance phrases which displayed a beginning, middle and end. In the middle years, students will begin to consider climax and resolution when creating and responding to dances. Contrast Contrast is vital to maintaining audience interest in dances.
Movements can differ in actions, body, dynamic, space or relationship concepts.
In grade one to grade five, students have had many experiences in contrasting their movements in their dance explorations and creations. Middle years students should continue to experiment with contrasting movements. Development Development refers to the unfolding of the dance, where each movement and choreographic idea logically grows out of the previous one. Development creates continuity, helping the audience follow the intent of the dance. However, if the development of a dance is too predictable, audiences will become bored.
