I struggled with the formations when students moved and had to return to a circle or line. I fixed the problem by placing tape on the floor. Unfortunately, I had to select to mark the floor for one dance only (my room isn't large enough for both) I selected the line dance, since it required more movement. It worked wonders!
What I have learned this week...
1) Floor tape can do wonders
2) Always, always, always remind students that we hold hands, never run, stay in our own space to be SAFE in the music room
3) All children secretly LOVE to dance- they just don't like to admit it (yes, even 5th grade boys)
