Interdisciplinary
The dance unit could be used during may social study units for example. Each period of study would
involve different periods of dance techniques. R&B and Micheal Jackson to be more specific would be the
late 80’s, 90’s and even 2000’s. It would allow some history to be learned before doing the actual activity.
Dance also combines with art as well as music and even LA
