A dance educator conducts a lesson with preschoolers on the difference between making "sharp" and "smooth" shapes with their bodies. She invites them to try moving "smoothly" and "sharply" in response to staccato and legato music, and asks them to freeze when the music pauses. The class discusses how they improvised their movements during the music. As a transition activity, the teacher asks children to move toward the door using either sharp or smooth movements.
