Dance with Sam
In today's lesson we began with a game called 'Change Places'. This is where the class sits in a circle in chairs and one person stands in the middle. The person in the middle says “change places if......” for example, you watched Waterloo Road, went out at the weekend or are wearing black. If you answer yes to the question asked, you stand up and have to scramble to change chairs – this includes the person in the middle. The one left without a chair then asks the next question, and so the game continues. This was a warm up exercise. It was better to ask a question that you thought a lot of people would reply 'yes' to, as more stood up, to change places, it was easier to get a chair!
We then moved on to an isolation exercise. We lined up in pairs in the left corner and moved diagonally across the studio firstly performing point kicks and then moving on to spins.
Our teacher Sam then showed us dance moves to a song, this included the walk on, foot tapping and spins. We were then put in groups of four, my group was with Millie, Mel and Ben. We were told to choreograph more moves to the dance, to add to what Sam taught us. We all contributed ideas which included clicks, circles, arm movements, slides and box steps. We showed our choreography to the whole class and Sam, and it was videoed.
