Dance and Music Resource Pack

Bring movement and sound together in creative harmony.

The Dance and Music Resource Pack invites pupils to create a one-minute music and movement piece, exploring how rhythm, sound and choreography interact. Using the Koala app, children can experiment with loops, samples and digital music-making while developing expressive dance sequences.

Structured yet flexible, this pack encourages experimentation and collaboration, giving pupils a playful introduction to combining music and movement.

What Will Pupils Create?

By the end of the project, pupils may create:

• A one-minute music and dance performance
• A composition using loops and samples on the Koala app

The emphasis is on exploration and creativity – each outcome will reflect the group’s ideas and experimentation.

The LEAP Creative Principles

As with all LEAP resources, this pack is guided by four key principles:

• Everything is an experiment
• Create first, make it better later
• Everyone is a teacher, everyone is a learner

These principles foster creativity, collaboration and confidence in both pupils and facilitators.
