Beginner Dance Stuff
1. we circled up, took attendance and talked about what the day would like like / i bribed them
with a game if they learned their dance haha
2. We did a warm up that had a lot of cardio, mountain climbers, pushups, situps, jumping jacks,
stretches
3. We went across the floor (Frog jumps, bear walks, army crawls, kicks, turns, hops,
backwards things
4. Choreography usually taught them about 2432 counts :
5. Dance Games
Mirror Game. Partner up with a friend, one of you is real and the other is a mirror. You have
to copy everything they do exactly. (So just play a song form 2 minutes. then switch and give
the other kid a chance to be the "real person")
Weather Game: they had to "dance" across the room based on the weather: Sunny, rainy,
tornado, hurricane, cold, hot etc.
Freeze Dance good ole standby!
Follow the Leader: Make a bid circle, each kid takes a chance being in the middle / being the
leader.
4 Corners / downstage and upstage I guess its more of a ballet game but i played it with them
too. you have someone close their eyes and all of the kids scatter to a corner or up/down center.
The person who is "it" calls out one of the 6 spots, whoever is caught in that spot is out. ITt's a
fun game because the kids have to be really quiet changing so the person who is "it" cant hear
where they went. It also teaches them the spacing on the stage subliminally.
