In the Studio 18 Music to encourage dance

Use music, create playlists and encourage dance!

For those reticent to dance… hoodwink them eg: everyone have a paper plate, be a waiter, keep holding the plate as if it has food on it, can you turn it around your own arm, can you have two plates? Use different levels, incorporate music. Have a skip, try mirroring,specific dance moves i.e a sand dance (show them Wilson Keppel and Betty!) Falling off a log, hip hop, skating, ballet, northern soul, Bollywood, jitterbug, floss, capoeira etc !

In a circle, everyone has a satsuma or a potato. Play the music you want to dance to. Where’s the point to start the moves? Throw the satsuma from  the right to left hand and back again, add other moves i.e under each leg, spin around then pass to the person on your left..keep going to the music.. a dance routine emerges.
