Dance is a holistic experience which links the mind, body, and emotions – integrating thinking, moving, and feeling this links well with Health which covers key concepts of hauora and well being.
Let’s Move It will involve students taking action to enhance an aspect of well being around a health issue. Students will then use the context of this learning to choreograph a group dance based on the health issue.
