The internationally celebrated dance company BalletBoyz has recently launched MoovBank, a new website housing filmed lessons, interviews and rehearsal footage to support specialist and non-specialist teachers deliver dance at Key Stages 2, 3 and 4 to students aged 7–18. MoovBank will launch in July, ready for use in schools from September 2016.
As a bespoke digital platform, the free and premium content has been specifically created to aid the teaching of dance as part of the national curriculum. Content includes general lesson inspiration to full lesson plans for PE teachers who are required to deliver high-quality dance with little experience or background in the genre, giving them the confidence to do so successfully. The content is also available for teachers delivering BTEC, GCSE and A Level Dance.
Filmed in class with dancers from the BalletBoyz company, the digital lessons will enable teachers to deliver a selection of creative and choreographic tasks to their groups with a focus on Creativity at KS2, Contact Work at KS3 and Choreography at KS4. The lessons aim to offer clear and detailed breakdowns of each movement task, in addition to teaching tips and further inspiration. Each lesson is also accompanied by a lesson plan with learning outcomes, cross curricula links and further suggestions designed to make planning and delivery straightforward.
The lessons are designed to increase physical activity and creativity in students, as well as help build trust, work together as a team and problem solve through movement, across each of the key stage levels. Teachers and pupils will be able to watch demonstrations performed by the company, whilst gaining access to behind the scenes rehearsal footage and interviews with choreographers. MoovBank will also feature a regular schedule of live streamed events from the Company’s studio, including masterclasses with the dancers, studio rehearsals and Continuing Professional Development opportunities for teachers.
