The ability to exhibit expertise in a variety of fine and modified movements, such as dance steps, is typically observed in which age range?

• A. 6-8
• B. 12-14
• C. 9-11
• D. 15-18

Answer: (B)

As children grow, their ability to coordinate fine motor skills, plan sequences, and adapt movements improves. This development reaches a level in early adolescence where students can handle a variety of refined tasks, including learning and performing dance steps with some modification and rhythm. Around ages 12–14, most students have enough neuromuscular control, balance, and motor planning to exhibit this kind of movement expertise. Earlier ages tend to show progress in basic and simpler skills, while later adolescence often brings even more advanced capabilities. So, the age range where you’d typically see this level of refined, varied movement is about 12–14.
