Year 4 – Ancient Egyption Creative Dance

This half-term in Dance Year 4 have started exploring body shape and movement based on The Ancient Egyptians. Ancient Egypt is currently their class topic, so children have been able to use their knowledge and understanding to help them to produce lots of creative ideas.

Children experimented with different poses and body shapes based on provided images of Ancient Egyptians and Greek Gods. Groups practiced transferring from one collective shape to another using interesting movement ideas, and considered their timing with the Egyptian music.
