develop coordinated movements to implement in a dance

It is important to know when to transfer weight and when not to. This is a four-wall dance and can be challenging to some students. Make sure to get each step mastered before adding the next step on. Once the students get it, it will be a great dance to watch.

The students will be in lines facing the front of the classroom to learn the dance.
