Fine Arts Standards - Age 3 (2023)
Lesson Plans

Strand 2: DANCE

Dance provides children the opportunity to use their bodies to move to music and express themselves through movement.

Standard FA 3 yr.2.4

Find different ways to control movements of the body, arms, and legs to develop coordination and mobility.

• Freeze Dance
  Children will listen to music and stop their bodies from moving when the music pauses.  This allows students to explore movement through dance and also helps build self-control as they start and stop activities.  
• Large Movements - Dance
  Children will listen to music and dance to the beat of that music using large coordinated movements of isolated body parts.  An adult or peer will be holding up cards to demonstrate what body part to move.
