Class Dance (Option I - Physical Education and School Sport)

The UC Dance Option aims to explore methods and techniques for teaching the various forms of dance proposed in the PNEF (rhythmic and expressive activities).  The development of knowledge acquired at UC dance in the first cycle of studies provides the basis for the intervention of the Physical Education professional with regard to knowing how to select, operationalize and evaluate dance content.

Students who score between 7.5 and 9.4 will be subjected to an extra task specific to the part of the subject in deficit The classes will be mostly theoretical-practical (where experiential learning, group and individual work on learning dance contents will be applied The final classification results from the theoretical-practical provision (10% referring to the provision in class + 15% referring to the moments in Pedagogical Practice + 55% Spectacle/production + 20% of community interaction activities)
