RECITAL CHOREOGRAPHY

Review Old Dances
Teach at least one eight count of a new dance every class!
Goal: To have 2 dances ready for recitals at all times! Once a dance is learned, the teacher should NEVER drop that routine until there is a new dance to replace it. This way there will always be two dances ready at all times.

FREE DANCE

Halloween Free Dance – “Halloween Mix”

This is a medley of songs. For each song, you are going to give the dancers different instructions. When that song ends, they need to “Freeze/Pose”

1st Song: Thriller – Start on the sides of the room, crawl in to the centre of the floor, than dance like Zombies
2nd Song: “Monster Mash” – Have them do creepy ground work (slither like a snake, crawl like a spider, etc.)
3rd Song: “Adams Family” – Have them stand up and do “high work” – leaps, big movement
4th Song: “This is Halloween” – Be creepy skeletons and dance
5th Song: “Rotten to the Core” – Dance however they want
