Content

Dance has no physical limitation. It is a first step for students to explore, understand and discover themselves. With “body” as the theme, this programme offers a series involving contemporary dance training and activities for students to start thinking from their daily lives regarding the power of their bodies to unleash the potential within, to achieve body-mind harmony through establishing a dialogue between them, build self-worth and reposition their self-image.

Implementation

The project will last for 11 months, from September 2015 to July 2016, and will be implemented in four phases:

Event	Date	Activites
Phase 1: Introductory Dance Performance	September to October 2015	This interactive introductory dance performance will allow to students and teachers to learn more about the programme content and how to appreciate the art of dance through modern dance performance with stage lighting and visual effects, video appreciation and interactive sessions. Participating schools should reserve the school hall for the performance.
Phase 2: Dance Training	October 2015 to July 2016	Dance Workshops (Primary Schools: 30 sessions; Secondary Schools: 29 sessions) As well as covering basic dance techniques and modern dance combinations, the instructor will also guide the students to consider the key elements of dance, such as space, form, rhythm and emotion, through impromptu games and creative exercises. This will help to nurture their interest in dance, creative thinking, physical coordination and musical sense, while cultivating and building team spirit and cooperation. In addition, the instructor will introduce a variety of creative approaches and choreography, guiding the students to find inspiration in daily life and try their own choreographic creations. After the creative session, there will be a discussion to reinforce the creativity training, and help the students to prepare for their final performance. Large-scale Dance Workshop/Talk (for Advanced Class of Secondary Schools) Schools may choose to join the “Large-scale Dance Workshop” or “Dance Video Appreciation and Guided Talk” once to enhance their students’ interest in dance. Participating schools are required to provide their school hall or large activity room for the activity.
Phase 3: Dance Appreciation and Dance Day Camp	December 2015 or April 2016	Dance Appreciation (For Secondary Schools) Students will attend a performance by the City Contemporary Dance Company. There will be an introductory session before the show to brief the students on stage production such as programme content, creative background and sets and props.
	January to April 2016	Guided Theatre Tour and Dance Appreciation (For Primary Schools) Students will visit the CCDC’s Jockey Club Dance Theatre and join a guided tour to learn about stage operation and performance techniques in preparation for their finale performance. The guided tour will also include an open dress rehearsal of a dance performance.
	February to June 2016	Dance Critique (For Advanced Class of Secondary Schools) To broaden the artistic vista of the participants, the “Dance Critique” programme encourages the students from the Advanced Class to attend a live performance by a local dance company and write their own critique or review. The instructors will discuss this written work with them during the dance class.
	February 2016	Dance Day Camp (For Secondary Schools) This is an intense dance workshop, rehearsal and performance, with six sessions held on the same day at the CCDC Dance Centre. It enables the students to experience the joy of performing and prepare well for the final performance. Each participant is required to pay an extra fee of $100.
Phase 4: Finale Performance	July 2016	The finale performance, Dancing in the Sun 2016, will be held at a performance venue outside school. Instructors will integrate the creative work of each participating student and choreograph the finale performance. They are also encouraged to take an active part in the making of props and sets to enhance the stage effect. The instructors will also coordinate arrangements for costumes, music and artistic direction of the performance..
