How will learners be assessed in the Dance Performance Teamwork course?

Assessment in the 'Dance Performance Teamwork' course is designed to be holistic, encompassing both individual contributions and team performance. The assessment methods are as follows:

Performance Assessments

This involves evaluating learners' performances in team rehearsals and final presentations. Assessors will look at factors such as adherence to choreography, technical execution, expression, and overall performance quality. Additionally, the teamwork aspect will be evaluated, including the synchronization, communication, and interaction among team members.

Peer Assessments

Peer assessments are an important part of the assessment strategy. Learners will be expected to provide constructive feedback to their peers during rehearsals. This encourages the development of critical thinking and communication skills, and also fosters a supportive and collaborative environment within the team.

Reflective Journals

Learners will be required to keep a reflective journal throughout the course. This should document their experiences, thoughts and feelings, challenges encountered, and how these were overcome. The journal entries will provide insight into the learner's understanding of team dynamics, personal progress, and their contribution to the team's performance.

Physical Conditioning Tests

Physical conditioning tests will be used to assess learners' fitness levels, including their strength, flexibility, and stamina. This is crucial for ensuring that they are physically capable of executing the required dance movements and for minimizing the risk of injuries.
