Line Dance gets kids' hearts pumping. There's never been a better time to infuse physical education programs with creative options. Child obesity rates are rising. Fast food is abundant. And TV and video games offer an ever-present sedentary draw.
Decrease the common complaints of "Why do we have to run again?" and "I forgot my gym clothes!" Hook your students by explaining that the more line dance steps they master, the closer they are to learning the Hip Hop Line Dance, a tricky, fun sequence that they're sure to replicate after the dismissal bell rings.
• Purchase the rights to a Shawn Trautman learn how to dance DVD and you'll bring a world-renowned dance instructor to your pupils, on your schedule. Each DVD is filmed in high definition and showcases every step in multiple camera angles, ensuring your students have step-by-step instruction that's easy to follow.
• The Line Dance DVD collection quickly moves students from step to step, keeping their attention and offering them the chance to dance along with the instructor at the end of each lesson.
• In a mere two hours, your students will feel like line dance experts. Start them off with Line Dance 101, for example, and they'll leave class knowing more than 30 steps.
• Use line dance as an introduction to couples dancing. During adolescence, kids can feel awkward dancing with the opposite sex. Line dancing provides an effective icebreaker.
