PE (Dance)

I learnt four line dances and the waltz in order to teach students in preparation for the school dance. This has been a great opportunity to up-skill in teaching. I received guidance by other P.E. teachers on how to teach dance in an engaging way.

Hi Team

Aranui and Regan's team have started dance.  Here are two of the dances that we have taught so far.  

I recommend you do a slow count in and then 4 steps.

I recommend you do a slow count in and the 8 steps.

I recommend you do a slow count in and then 12 steps.

I recommend you do a slow count in and then 16 steps.

I recommend you do a slow count in and repeat 16 steps.

I recommend you do a slow count in and repeat 16 steps.

I recommend you do a slow count in and then 20 steps.

etc etc until the dance is finished.

Then increase the speed.

Then try to the music.

Then slow counts again!

Honky Tonk stomp

Wanderer

For this, they just do the first steps over and over until it is master/mostly mastered.

The same for moving forward and double kicking with the left foot.

Then you can put the dance together.

Note, the walk in the circle at the end is basically a walk around to an eight count for our kids.

Edwin can help and he has kids that can dance with/for you as well.
