• identifying and interpreting how interrelating elements, choreographic devices such as variation, contrast and transitions, and forms are used to communicate intent (Skills: Numeracy, Critical and Creative Thinking)
• Considering viewpoints - philosophies and ideologies: What philosophical, ideological or political perspectives does the dance work represent, or how do these perspectives affect the audience's interpretation?)
• expressing responses using descriptive style-specific dance terminology (Skills: Literacy, Critical and Creative Thinking, Personal and Social Capability)
• accessing and researching choreographers' works through real or virtual performances to analyse choreographers' intentions (Skills: Literacy, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Capability, Critical and Creative Thinking, Personal and Social Capability)
