This unit uses the natural world of water as a creative stimulus for developing expressive dance skills in Year 2 students. Through exploring different water forms - from gentle streams to stormy seas - students build movement vocabulary, spatial awareness, and confidence in creative expression. The thematic approach makes abstract dance concepts tangible while encouraging imaginative interpretation and collaborative choreography.
