Monster Mash Footsteps P - 2

Dance

'Monster Mash'

Bobby Pickett

HAVE FUN BEING A MONSTER!

The dance is the same for prep and grade 1/2 but in the lesson notes, you will see that I would have been emphasizing different learning goals and expecting different standards for each level.

Lesson 1 - Monster Mash

Practice it with your family until you can dance moving confidently from one move to the next.

Now go back and dance 'Blame It On the Boogie' and 'Bring It All Back To You".

Grades 3/4 and 5/6

Power #Thatpower by Will.I.Am Feat

Dance

'Power'

#Thatpower by Will.I.Am

BREAK OUT THOSE POWERFUL MOVES!

The dance is the same for grade 3/4 & 5/6 but in the lesson notes, you will see that I would have been emphasizing different learning goals and expecting different standards for each level.

Once you’ve mastered it, have a look at the prep - 2 Dance ‘Monster Mash' - and help your younger brothers and sisters. I’m sure you’ll like it too.

Lesson 2 - PowerThis is "Lesson 2 - Power" by Footsteps Dance Company on Vimeo, the home for high quality videos and the people who love them.

Even though is called lesson 2 this is the correct lesson for week 4.

Practice it over and over until you can dance moving confidently from one step to the next . Eventually try the dance without looking at the screen, particularly if your in grade 5 or 6.

Now go back and dance 'Black or White' and 'We Will Rock You'.

Grades 5/6

See the Dance lesson above first - Power. Now it's time for.......

Dance Project - Create Your Own Dance Routine

- this will take 3 weeks

I want to join 3 or 4 of your routines together then teach them to the class - on video if we can, or back at school when we eventually go back.

What to do:

Choose your music (school friendly)
Look on Dojo Portfolios for a Performing Arts Task - Write the name of your song, Who it's by and Why you chose it. I will put it up on Tuesday morning.
Work solo, or if you can, work together with a friend online - use the same song

Length - about 2 minutes is fine - (shorter if video files get too long)

Think about:

Opening position - introduction
Steps to tell the STORY of the song
AEROBIC / ENERGETIC steps - TO KEEP US FIT
Movement on the spot and around the space
Rising up and falling down
Pausing / resting
Patterns and repeats - make it easy to learn
Ending position

Thanks to the students who have already written to me about this. It's great to be so amazingly organised! Some people have finished already! Yay!
