CLASS OF DANCING


In this music lesson we are going to use movement by doing several dances so that the pupils learn to move and to synchronize their bodies. Before everything we will explain the importance of the synchronization to the pupils in all kinds of dance. In addition it is very important to have the rhythm the body to dance marvellously.

This class is directed pupils of 6 º of primary since they are the pupils most adapted to work with them this topic because already they have a few minimal musical conocomientos. We believe that it is interesting that the pupils know the origin of some dances and since they are danced.

In today's lesson we are going to deal with these dances:

The waltz is a dance that was practised by the nobility and rapidly it spread over other countries. In its origin it had a slow movement though, at present, it has turned into a dance of alive and rapid pace. Its compases are three times.
