You will be questioned on these works and your own work in a 1 hour 30 minute exam at
the end of Year 11. This will be 40% of your Dance GCSE grade. In the exam you will be
required to:
Revision: Find what works for you. Cue cards, posters of information with pictures,
rewriting information…
Do your homework: it will help!
Use your time wisely: in class and in the exam.
Read each question twice and highlight key words in the question.
Describing movement = RADS
Rehearsal = use of feedback and application of feedback.
Choreographic skills = how to choreograph: e.g. motif development
Physical + Expressive = Performance skills, know the definitions
Features of the production = Staging/set, lighting, properties (props), costume,
dancer, aural setting, dance for camera
