| Lesson Objective (Psychomotor and/or Cognitive): |
develop coordinated movements to implement in a dance |
||||
| Teaching Hints: |
The key to this dance is to make sure you emphasize the difference between the "touches" and the "steps". Touches are like taps, you do not put your weight on the foot, while a step should have the students weight transferred to that foot. Once they understand this concept the dance should go smoothly! |
