Teaching Hints:

This is a high-energy dance that most students love! Make sure that students are spread out enough so students have plenty of room to complete their kicks. It makes it easier if students are able to see the demonstrations and hear instructions at all times. The teacher should be moving around the classroom demonstrating at different angles.

Description:

Students will line up in row formation facing the front of the room. The steps should be taught one at a time, not adding the next step on until all students have completed the previous step successfully.

Counts 1-8: Step right, together left, step right, together left, step right, together left.

Counts 1-8: Step left, together right, step left, together right, step left, together right.
