They include fundamental movements like walking, running, and skipping. Fundamental movement skills involve locomotor skills like walking and running, non-locomotor skills like bending and stretching, and manipulative skills using the hands and feet. The document then provides examples of rhythmic activities like hand clapping and using moira sticks, describing the patterns and steps involved. It discusses elements of movement like space, time, and force or energy.

left foot leading. The rhythm is uneven, long -short.   Long

NON-LOCOMOTOR
MOVEMENTS

to reduce muscle tension and make the body feel more relaxed.

 Flexion – shortening of the body parts occurring


at a joint.
Example : arm bending , head bending , knee
bending and trunk bending
 Extension – straightening of a body part
occurring at a joint.
Example: Leg stretch and arm stretch

ELEMENTS OF MOVEMENTS
SPACE
 The elements of movement are space, time, and
force (energy). The instrument is the body. The body
moves in space and in time with force. The dance
concepts should be viewed holistically. When
participating in dance, all elements of dance are
integrated all the time. The separation among
concepts here serves as a means to think about, plan,
and discuss dance.
 LEVEL – The movement space can be done in
different levels, such high, low, and medium.
 RANGE – the area covered by the body when moving.
The movement may be wide, large, and small
 FLOOR PATTERN – the design made on the floor
while the body is moving can be circle, square,
straight line or zigzag.
