Teacher can choose to either face the same direction as the students or have students face them and mirror movements. Make sure all students can see the demonstrations and can hear instructions. Move around the lines so all students have a chance to see moves from different angles. May also rotate lines, front row to back row, second row to first row, etc., to make sure all students have a chance to be in front.
