| Lesson Objective (Psychomotor and/or Cognitive): |
develop coordinated movements to implement in a dance |
||||
| Teaching Hints: |
This dance can be modified after all students have completed it a couple of times. The teacher may choose to add foot movements with the hand movements to make the dance a little more challenging. A good idea is to let the students make up the new moves. Students could be split up into small groups and then share the new dance with the class by teaching it to them. |
