• speakers and music.

Instructions:

1. Teach a choreography that is easy for the group. If it helps the group, you can describe it as ‘movement’instead of dance. 2. Example of a choreography: a. 8 steps forward and a clap on the last step and 8 steps backward and a clap on the last step. b. 4 steps forward and a clap on the last step and 4 steps backward and a clap on the last step. c. 2 steps forward and a clap on the last step and 2 steps backward and a clap on the last step. d. Rotate on your place with 4steps and a clap on the last step. 3. When young people are familiar with this choreography and have tried it with music, have them come up with their own choreographies in smaller groups (3-6 people). This choreography can be anything: movement, voice, taking different poses, at the same time or separately. 4. Practise for a short time in smaller groups and then present the choreography to the others. 5. Remember to give positive feedback and encourage young people to give it too. 6. Talk with young people about the activity: How did it feel? Was it difficult to come up with choreography?
