The Sassy Charleston


Ugene’s Dance Learning Story  Term 3

The Sassy Charleston.
So according to my facts James P. Johnson was the one that invented The Charleston and it was brought in to the world in the 1920’s.


The Moves.
So the moves are similar to the dance we call the shuffle because you have to keep moving your feet and in The Charleston and it is mostly about your leg movement.

Is the Charleston jazz ?
Did you know The Charleston is jazz. It was used to accompany The Charleston dance. Cecil Mack was the man that wrote the lyrics and James P. Johnson was the first man to introduced the stride piano method of playing.

What do people wear for Charleston?
When people dance to the Charleston they wear fancy dress (for the girls) and tux for the boys. Also the boys wear a top hat. The girls usually wear high heels and a headband with a feather on top and they feel happy when they dance.

I was good at being sassy during the dance, and smiling.

I think I need to work on stop having an attitude because I’m honestly not a big fan of dance.

I think I got better at, trying my hardest in the dance practises because sometimes I find it hard, even though I don’t like it that much.

A way I like to learn a dance that I have never done before is by practising the moves a lot and persevering. Including the times when I really don’t want to dance.

The key competency I think I was good at was managing self, because I payed attention to the teacher, and I was a role model.

The key competency I got better at was relating to others because I enjoyed dancing with my partner.

Rylee’s feedback:
I noticed Ugene was good at adding his own style to the dance because it made me laugh. I think Ugene needs to work on nothing because I think he did great.

Ugene 2017 Athletics learning story

Ugenes Athletic Story: Today I was exhausted, tired and sore. If you are still wondering what I am talking about, I am talking about 'Athletic Days’ My first activity was discus throw where I got bronze. I was good at cheering people on and using the right arm technique so I can throw the discus further. Something I liked was sprint's/long distances. At the end of the activity, I was sweating with tired legs. In sprints, I got silver and gold for long distances. I was good at not worrying if I was coming last I still persevered and kept on running. The activity I didn’t like was high jump I found it difficult to lift my leg and to jump high but the skill I used was to ignore any distractions happening and focusing on getting myself over the pole. My next steps are to use both my arm and leg movement so I can easily move my body to make it over the pole. The next activity was vortex, I got bronze. The technique I used was keeping my throw straight and not aimi...
