Dance Event Task

1) Students will be split into groups of 4 and the Copperhead Road dance will be
reviewed one time through the length of the song

2) The groups will then work together to decide, find or create a single 8-count
to be inserted into the dance.

3) The added 8-count:

a. must replace any 8-count already in the dance (there are 32 total
counts, it should remain that way and not become 40 counts)
b. must not contain the same steps as any 8 count already in the dance
c. every person in the group must be able to perform the 8-count
4) Students and groups must:
a. Work together so that the 8-count can be done by every member
b. Demonstrate the ability to maintain a rhythm or beat
c. Be able to transition in and out of the added 8 count smoothly

Students will perform these very quickly at the end, so they must learn to support
teammates and work together without being embarrassed or shy.
