Dancers must learn to add, multiply, and divide the music and the counts for the steps. Dancers use their bodies to explore fractions, rhythms and patterns. Musical note values are taught in terms of fractions of a whole. Dancers are challenged to discover how many counts a section of choreography contains using math terms. Dancers must use two points (stage directions) to plot diagonal, perpendicular, parallel, and intersecting lines using their bodies. Dancers learn to define the perimeter of the stage. Dancers learn about symmetry by making symmetrical and asymmetrical shapes with their bodies or in groups. Math terminology and concepts are embedded in the curriculum.
