Music; paper and pens.
Three minutes to get warm.
Easy jogging on the spot, then arms and legs. How to warm up well is explained at workonfitness.com.
- Make up 8 counts of your own: two toprock steps and one angular shape.
- Dance it 5 times exactly the same way.
- Teach it to your child slowly, counting each move.
Show it once from the front and once from the side, slowly. Then let your child try.
- Each person makes a tag: 8 counts that are theirs, using toprock steps and angular shapes.
- Each practises it 5 times.
- Each teaches theirs to the others.
- The crew joins two tags into one crew motif.
How much: 2 tags and 1 crew motif
Keep going, make it yours
Show and copy
The rules
Each person shows their tag once; the others copy it on the next 8 counts.
- One dancer shows their tag once
- Everyone copies it on the next 8 counts
- Next dancer, until everyone has shown theirs
- Then dance all the tags one after another without stopping
Fair play: A younger dancer shows their tag twice.
- Points
- 1 point for each tag you copy on the beat; 1 point to the tag's maker when everyone copies it right.
- Fouls
- No point: losing the count; stopping in the middle; laughing at someone's tag (that player also loses a point)
- Win
- The crew wins together when all the tags link without a stop; beat the crew's record.
- 3
- 5
- 8
The crew dances 4 linked tags, one eight-count each, without stopping.
End on one that works. If it was hard today, finish with the easier version.
Well played.
