Dança

The syllabus will be approached in combination the increasing levels of complexity and treated in such a way as to establish interconnections between theoretical knowledge – exposition and dialogue, experimentation, creation and observation/analysis (Interpret/Create/Appreciate).

This  practical curricular unit will have an exclusively continuous evaluation [100% = 20 values] considering the items:

1) Laboratory work – conception of dance exercises and a dance lesson plan (25%)

2) Practical tests- performance bodily/expressive movement (65% )

3) Participation  (10% )

Under point 8 of article 13º of the Academic Regulation of the 1st cycle of studies at ESEC, the student must meet the following specific conditions for access to the exam: have attended 60% of the classes and  in the continuums evaluation have a minimal classification of 40% on item 1) and 50%  on item 2).
