Identify and apply movement concepts and cues (e.g., lower centre of gravity, increase base of support, and align centre of gravity in the middle of the base of support) for controlled movement that challenges balance (e.g., serve reception position in volleyball, defensive movement in basketball, stability for skateboarding, landing from jumps and springs).

Demonstrate basic rhythmic steps, positions, and patterns in repeatable sequences (e.g., aerobics, skipping, creative dance, folk dance) showing two or more different styles/traditions.

Demonstrate functional use of combinations of two or more selected movement skills (e.g., combine traveling, rolling, balancing, and weight transfer into smooth flowing sequences) while applying movement variables (e.g., showing contrast in direction, speed, flow).

Combine traveling, jumping, and landing skills to practise performing a variety of sport-specific skills such as high jump, long jump, triple jump, and volleyball spike approach.

Jump forward and backward over a self-turned rope, while stationary and moving, varying pathways, directions, and body movements.

Demonstrate given visual representations of movement patterns (e.g., footwork of a volleyball block, dance steps for a line dance, running pattern for a football play).

Apply an understanding of effective body positioning and movement during the flight phase of various jumps.

Create and perform, individually or with a partner, a sequence of locomotor and non-locomotor skills that vary in directions, levels, and pathways, and include a landing on hands (e.g., balance, land on the hands by falling forward from a standing position, front support, lower to mat, roll, push up to front support, jump forward to bring feet between hands, stand, leap sideways, balance).

Mount and dismount large apparatus (e.g., benches, fitness steps, stacked mats), demonstrating body shapes during flight and landing in control.

Create, symbolically represent, and perform, in groups of three or more, a rhythmical movement sequence in time to a given beat which meets given criteria related to the performance of complex movement skills (e.g., basketball lay-up approach and steps: 4/4 time – dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble, step, step, jump, land).

Create, symbolically represent, and perform, in groups of three or more, a dance sequence which meets given criteria related to the performance of combining movement skills (e.g., hop, hop, slide, slide, jump turn, land, repeat) in time to a given beat.

Perform established modern, folk, cultural/multicultural dances such as the polka from the German culture, the two-step and square dance from various cultures, Jingle Dress dancing and the Grass Dance from the First Nations culture, and the Red River Jig from the Métis culture. (Note: Physical participation in First Nations and Métis dances should occur only after the spirit and intent of these dances have been taught in Arts Education through Outcome CH5.2.)
