Formative Assessment Project

Performance

Exam 3 Fall 2025 Yoga for Dance 

with Rick Crawford

Description:

 

We are creating this exercise for Performance on November 20: 

 

1. 12th Week: There should be no classwork conflicts after the Midterm 

   1. and before this group-work project. 

2. You will have four (4) weeks (not counting the weekend) 

   1. to meet with your Group three times*.

We are learning to assess each other’s performance of learned exercises and skills by using the Rubric for Dance Conditioning. This is a Formative Assessment, which gives you time and feedback to make corrections to your own execution of movement techniques from this class during the following weeks of the semester:

Your comments to each other and to each other’s groups should be applied during your own Final Examination by the end of the semester. These activities should help you better understand the Principles of Yoga from this class.

Assignment:  You must adhere to these instructions for your complete grade*:

 

As described literally from the ELAC Dance technique course curriculum, “Students demonstrate an understanding of the techniques learned in this class by working in groups to synthesize the movement patterns into uniquely different performances.” Students discuss and evaluate the performances of each group or individual and provide feedback. This is a performance and evaluation of selected combinations of movement covered in the class during the semester.

1. Choose from all of the Yoga Asanas learned in this class

2. Choose three exercises each applicable to three different sections of class 

(choose three from three), for example:

My group will perform exercises from  b, d, & f; we will perform in a flowing manner at least (9) nine different exercises from our Yoga Class Asanas Fall 2025. We will perform 3 Standing Poses, 3 Seated Poses, and 3 Finishing Poses.  In addition, we MUST begin with a Warm-up “a” and then develop our workout by selecting from b ,d ,& f:

1. Create a Warm-Up Vinyasa sequence

2. Create a Standing Poses Vinyasa Sequence 

3. Create a Balancing Poses Vinyasa Sequence (Extra-Credit)

4. Create a Seated Poses Vinyasa Sequence

5. Create a Back Bending Poses Vinyasa Sequence

6. Create a Finishing Poses Vinyasa Sequence

1. Remember, Perform at least 3 (three) exercises from each class section listed above
