    Over 12 sessions, the student and their group worked to create an African dance performance. They chose music, researched movements, created choreography, taught each other the moves, practiced extensively, filmed practice videos, and finally performed their dance. While creating the dance presented challenges like members getting sick, the group worked collaboratively and persevered to choreograph intricate and unique moves. The student notes that adding more excitement and smiles to their performance could have enhanced it further.

    PE African Dance Reflection

    12 sessions

    Session 1: In this session, we divided ourselves into teams and chose the members who we
    wanted to work with. I teamed up with Annabelle, Pola, Eloise, Paulina S., and Hyejoo. In
    this session, we listened to various different African Music in order to familiarise ourselves
    with the music for the dance. It was fun for us to listen to the different, unique, and foreign
    beats and rhythms.

    Session 2: In Session 2, we spent half of the session choosing the songs on Spotify and
    finalised on Party with a Jagaban as our dance music. Afterwards, we watched videos to look
    at most common and popular African dance movements. We spent the last 10 minutes
    creating our 20 second Introduction where we created a ‘flower blooming’ movement
    where we surround Annabelle and open our arms out to “bloom”. I found this session very
    productive and fun.

    Session 3: during today’s session, many people were unable to attend in class as we had all
    gotten Coronavirus from Prom. During this session, we were not able to get much done and
    so we further researched different African dance movements.

    Session 4: I was not able to attend school as I had caught coronavirus along with many other
    people except Hyejoo so nothing happened in this session.

    Session 5: Eloise, Paulina, and Pola were still feeling ill so it was just me, Hyejoo, and
    Annabelle. During this, we worked on the first minute of the song. We were able to create
    around 14 dance moves in total for the verse and the chorus. Although half of our group
    was missing we worked very well together and was very productive and created most of the
    main dance moves.

    Session 6 and 7 and 8: As everyone came back, we slowly taught all of the choreographies
    we made up and took it step by step. Although some of the movements were a little
    challenging some people we worked together and worked hard and was able to successfully
    carry out a little bit of the movements. Once all the movements were taught, we continued
    Practicing the movements over and over to perfect it.

    Session 9: we then worked on two more movements where we move in unison and a
    domino effect and after worked individually to create 16 beats of our solo performances.
    We all collectively decided to do 8 beats per person first and afterwards go in a backwards
    order of doing another 8 beats each.

    Session 10: We worked together for the first half of the session on our plan that we had to
    submit. We all brainstormed and research the names of the movements and thought of the
    adjectives to describe the movements most accurately. Afterwards, we worked together on
    filming a practice video of the progress we had made so far and uploaded it on our Teams
    chat to practice at home.
    Session 11: We continued practicing from the chorus with our solo performances and then
    the movements after which included another formation in line and doing simple movements
    to move back into our chorus. Afterwards, we continued practicing and repeating the
    challenging moves and continued did several run throughs in order to perfect our dance. All
    of us gave input to the choreography making process and although it was challenging, we
    persevered and worked hard together in teamwork.

    Session 12: During this session, we refreshed ourselves on what the moves were and put a
    little more attention to detail with unison movements and the steps we created to really
    perfect the dance. Afterwards, we filmed our final piece without Hyejoo and decided to
    make another video with Hyejoo later in the week. I think that we all worked very hard and
    our moves were unique and very intricate. However, it could be even better if we had more
    excitement and eagerness showing through our dance moves and smiling more often
    throughout the performances as we were very focused on remembering the moves that
    many of us forgot to smile.§
