Rosy Constanti Unit 13 Dance Technique and Unit 14 Dance Performance

  Task One The time signature is 4/4, meaning there are 4 beats per bar. A full pulse note is called a crotchet and a half pulse note is called a quaver. In this extract, on 'SHH' we do a 'lips are sealed' action with our hands while moving our head in the opposite direction to our hand. This movement lasts half a beat so it has a quaver time value. The 'SHH' happens in the second beat of the bar (in the second half of the second beat, as it only has a half pulse/quaver time value) Task Two The time signature of this extract is 4/4 meaning there are 4 beats in each bar.

Task 2 - Six This extract's time signature is 4/4, so there are four beats in each bar. In this section, at bar 136 we all stand with our feet apart in strong confident stances and punch our right hand up. We do step ball changes with head tilts for the quavers in bars 136 and 137. The six queens each punch our right arm up on a specific crotchet in bars 138 and 139 and as I'm third from
