General Informations
MINI ACRO presents a challenge and add some variety to the dance steps. Jive is a Latin American dance that is danced in international ballroom competitions. It is closely related to boogie-woogie and rock `n roll. While rock `n roll is danced with hops, the jive has its own basic step that is not hopped. Jive is usually danced in an open dancing stance.
Helpful prerequisites:
- Exercise for core stability/tension to prepare students for mini acro.
- Experience with movement and music
- Examples from the category: "Short Dances"
Tips for implementation:
- Different forms of organisations add variety and take some pressure off the teacher as the "presenter".
- Make sure that the mini acro are introduced correctly and that they are suitable for the respective grade/age group
- Learn jive moves and then perhaps integrate a short mini acro
- Play some music during the practice phase (motivation). The sound volume can be varied.
Further steps:
- If, for example, two jive move and a mini acro are combined, a small combination can be formed for all of the class.
Tips relating to the music: further information can be found under the heading "Tips & methods" > Music
- For this example, several different music pieces are suitable. A clear rhythm with between 120 – 150 beats per minute (BPM) is helpful. (Rock n Roll, Boogie Woogie)
- 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.
