Jazz Workshop 1 (Lyrical)

The following video evidence documents Alice Norris, Kelly Rolfe and Myriam Maley teaching their audition dance for lyrical Jazz to the BTEC Performing Arts Group (C14, Assignment 4, Task 1). 

The following is also evidence for bullet point 1 below for the rest of the group.

Task:

You are auditioning with your jazz dance company for a spot in the variety show; you must learn, rehearse and perform three audition pieces in contrasting styles.  You can choose from rock, lyrical, funk or street. You will:

• Take place in jazz dance workshops where you will experiment with contrasting styles and track your progress and development in a dancer’s log.
• Working in groups of two’s/three’s each group will choreograph and teach an audition piece in a style of your choice to the rest of your class.  The piece should last one minute each and be tracked in your dancers log.
• You should perform 2 of the audition dances to a panel of variety show judges and record for evidence.

This evidence proves how the students have identified, described and explained key features of a lyrical jazz piece by their practical exploration of the style and then breaking it down and teaching it to their peers.

This evidence is also reinforced by the evidence in their 'dancer's log'.
