III.
DYNAMIC EMPHASIS
The skip and bounce sequences are quick, light, lively, and bouncy, as
similar to the music for this movement. The peeking and creeping during
the introduction is sustained and tense. The hide during the
introduction and after the partner skips is firm and sudden. The end
music is similar to the skip music, where students get to choose their
actions that best suit the music and imagery of the movement sequence.

IV.
SPATIAL EMPHASIS
The introduction focuses on the effort of body shapes and bases that
lead into a slow creep where students explore levels and pathways. The
skipping and bouncing sections focus on varied pathways, levels, and
ways to meet and part with a partner.

V.
RELATIONSHIP EMPHASIS
The introduction during the peek is done in own personal space. The
creep is and skips are lead and followed as A's create a pathway and B's
follow and catch up. During the bounce section, partners first bounce
apart, then meet, then apart, then meet, while varying their pathways
and levels. The partner skips have students link arms and skip one way,
then change arms and skip the other way.

IMAGES: SEQUENCES
Picture from: Harris Burdick
"Uninvited Guest".
Elves are curious little creatures. One day they finally unlock the
door to the human world. The elves creep out the door to discover so
much excitement in the human world. They have to be quiet and watchful
because they must not be seen by humans!
