• Have students follow your dance moves.
• Adapt as needed to include everyone as they are able.

Let’s get our “groove” on! This workout gives us the chance to try some dance moves together. And it’s fun! Here’s what we are going to do. We are going to break into two groups and line up facing each other. Let’s do that now. Find your dance partner. They are the person in the other group you are facing right now! Can everyone see who their dance partner is?

I’m going to play some music. Then I’m going to do a dance step down the aisle (demonstrate). When I get to the end, the first pair of dance partners is going to dance down the aisle, doing exactly what I did. When they get to the end of the aisle, the next pair will go. Let’s just make sure we keep a safe distance from each other while we are on the move!

After everyone has had a turn, I’ll do a new dance step. The first pair of partners will follow again, then the second and so on. Any questions?

(At end of workout) Let’s give ourselves a great big hand, everyone! We really got our groove on!

• Lead your class in this workout to personalize their learning of the science.
• Divide your class into two groups. Have the groups line up, facing each other, respecting physical distancing requirements. If anyone needs to stay seated, move their chair to their position in line. Option to have everyone stay seated for this workout.
• Have each person partner with the person from the other group in the same position in the opposite line, i.e. the first person in line 1 pairs with the first person in line 2.
• Create an “aisle” between the lines wide enough for two people to easily dance through side-by-side.
• Play music from the TBH Line Grooves playlist or your own selection.
• Dance down the “aisle” to demonstrate the Line Grooves moves below, one at a time. Have students follow you, copying your “dance,” in pairs beginning with the first two partners, followed by the next pair, etc. Keep your movements simple, safe and easy to follow. Encourage partners to move in sync. Do as many rounds as time allows.
• If needed for physical distancing, have each member of the pair move separately down the “aisle.”
• Repeat with new dance moves, moving at a pace that is comfortable for your group.
• Encourage the group to clap along, applaud and praise each other’s moves!
• When repeating this class, use different combinations of the dance moves.

SUGGESTED “LINE GROOVE” MOVEMENTS

• Hands Up! As you walk down the aisle, raise and lower your hands overhead to the tune of the music. Be sure to add a bit of rhythm to your step.
• Jazz Hands. Do “jazz hands” as you walk down the aisle. Hold your hands, palms forward, around waist high. “Shimmy” them back and forth as you walk.
• Strut Your Stuff. Put one hand on your hip and strut down the aisle like a fashion model.
• Step Touch! Step touch with your right foot, then your left, alternating as you walk the aisle.
• Leader’s Choice! Dancer’s choice of moves as you make your way down the aisle!

• Make It Harder. Create more complex moves. Or, have members of each pair coordinate their moves so that they’re dancing in sync. Vote on “awards for different pairs, i.e. “most creative,” “best dance move,” “most fun to watch,” etc.
• Make It Easier. Go more slowly. Use simpler movements. Allow students to make up their own moves to the music as they dance down the aisle.
• One-to-One Delivery. Dance together, moving down an imaginary “line” with one person dancing and the other following and copying their moves. Or, dance together trying the same moves. Try traditional simple line dances like the “Hokey Pokey” or the “Macarena.”
• Virtual Delivery. Have distance learners to take turns copying your dance moves, one at a time. Or, ask each distance learner to demonstrate a dance move and have everyone copy their move.
