This unit challenges Year 6 students to explore abstract concepts - democracy, tolerance, rule of law, and mutual respect - through physical expression and collaborative choreography. By transforming values into movement, students develop sophisticated dance skills whilst engaging with citizenship themes in a uniquely embodied way. The progressive introduction of choreographic devices ensures students move from personal interpretation to polished group performance.
