Summary

In this cultural arts lesson, the teacher introduces students to the fundamental elements of dance, emphasizing the importance of movement in choreography. The lesson explores four key aspects of dance evaluation: *wiraga* (movement technique), *wirama* (precision with music), *wirasa* (emotional expression), and *wirupa* (overall appearance). It also discusses the stages of movement processing—*stilasi* (refinement) and *distorsif* (alteration). The focus then shifts to various hand movements, each with specific cultural significance. The lesson concludes with an encouragement for students to independently note the movements and submit their work.
