Dance as a form of expression is an important part of arts education. It allows students to express their emotions and thoughts non-verbally and so develop a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them. Classical music and pop are combined, and students create their own choreography that reflects their personal interpretation of the music.
TikTok-style, they film their choreography and then edit it with the free video app ‘CapCut’. Along the way, they explore the differences and similarities between the two genres and are encouraged to plan and act independently.
