Structure and Performance Tips

COURSE: we-just-want-to-dance

FOCUS: This lesson explains the structure of the routine and provides performance tips to encourage personal expression and enjoyment while dancing.

TIP & TRICKS:

• Do the routine twice through, then groove and improvise during a four sets of eight instrumental break.
• After the instrumental, restart from near the end of the routine, focusing on freestyle sections until the song fades out.
• During the outro, improvise and interact with others to create a feeling of togetherness.
• Add your own style by playing with body shapes and rhythms, such as mimicking piano sounds with hands or shoulders.
• Smile and laugh while dancing to make the routine your own.

REMEMBER:

• The routine is a framework; focus on having fun and personalizing the movements.
• Interact with people around you during freestyle sections to enhance the group experience.
• Use the instrumental break and outro as opportunities for improvisation and creative expression.
• Prioritize enjoyment over perfection, making the dance your own gift.
