1. LOCOMOTOR AND NON
LOCOMOTOR
MOVEMENTS

2. LOCOMOTOR MOVEMENTS
•Locomotor skills are movements of
the body that occur from one place to
another, such as walking, skipping,
or running.

4. NON-LOCOMOTOR
MOVEMENTS
•Non-locomotor skills are movements of the
body that do not involve moving from one
place to another. Non-locomotor movement
involves the use of the limbs, or the entire
body, and requires stability.

6. PERFORMANCE TASK
•Create a dynamic and visually captivating
dance performance by combining locomotor
and non-locomotor elements.

7. INSTRUCTIONS
1. Warm-Up:
• Begin with a thorough warm-up to prepare the body for the
dance. Include stretches, joint rotations, and light cardio
exercises.
2. Selecting Music:
• Choose music that complements both the energetic locomotor
movements and the more controlled non-locomotor elements.
Ensure that the tempo and mood of the music align with the
overall theme of your performance

8. 3. Choreographing the Dance:
Integrate locomotor and non-locomotor movements seamlessly
throughout the choreography.
Experiment with combinations such as starting with a series of non-
locomotor movements to set the mood, followed by an energetic
locomotor sequence to build intensity
4. Transitions:
• Pay attention to transitions between locomotor and non-locomotor
movements. Use smooth transitions to maintain the flow of the
dance

9. 5. Expression and Dynamics:
• Incorporate facial expressions, gestures, and varying dynamics
to add emotional depth to the performance.
• Experiment with changes in speed, levels, and energy to create
a dynamic and engaging dance
6. Group Coordination:
• If performing in a group, ensure synchronization in both
locomotor and non-locomotor elements. Practice together to
achieve a cohesive and visually appealing performance.
