General Informations
Examples from the category SHORT DANCES contain short exercises with music that can be done as a warm-up or as an intro to the lesson. The exercises are designed and arranged in a way that they can be learned without a lot of prior experience and don`t necessarily lead to a certain dance style.
The emphasis is on varied work with music in combination with simple movements.
Target group: recommended level 3 (from age 9./10.)
Helpful prerequisites:
- Experience with movement and music
Tips for implementation:
- It is also possible to use only parts of this sequence depending on the level of advancement of students
- First teach in front of the class, then let students practice repeatedly by changing partners.
- The sequence - depending on the grade the students are in - can be divided into 2-3 groups.
- Play some music during the practice phase (motivation). The sound volume can be varied.
Tips relating to the music: further information can be found under the heading „Tips & methods“ > Music
- The song "Surfin’ U.S.A" in the original version by the Beach Boys is well suited for this sequence.
- Good, motivating music is very important. Use songs that are currently popular every now and then. Bring faster and slower music to the lesson. These add variety and motivation to lessons.
