This unit develops Year 2 students' expressive movement and creative choreography through an engaging pirate narrative theme. By combining imaginative storytelling with fundamental dance concepts like levels, pathways, and motifs, students build confidence in using their bodies as tools for expression. The progression from individual exploration to partner choreography and performance cultivates both physical creativity and collaborative skills in a supportive, playful context.
