Dance with Oprah!

Tandalay and the PLAY Network are kicking off a contest to see who can get their class dancing on Oprah!  We have the tools and some inspiration to get them moving.  See below for contest rules!

Are you interested in getting your class on OPRAH??? Here’s your chance!! http://www.oprah.com/ownshow/plug_form.html?plug_id=2216922

Oprah and Dr. Oz are looking for ways to dance yourself to fitness. How absolutely awesome would it be to get YOUR CLASS DANCE on Oprah???? Creating a Class Dance is a TON of fun! Ask your students if they’ve seen some fun dances on YouTube (they have). Challenge them to come up with a dance of their own! YOU will provide them the tools to get started (movement cards) and THEY will provide the “style.”

Dances can be created in a day, and enjoyed for a lifetime!

STEP ONE: Work as a class to hear the phrasing of the music.

STEP TWO: Explore various dance moves that kids know (sponge-bob, moonwalk, running man, the jerk, etc), then go over the moves in the Tandalay Move Your Body card deck (50 different movement ideas).

STEP THREE: Practice finding the beat and the musical phrase in the music.

STEP FOUR: Put a class dance together as an entire group, demonstrate how to link four moves into a 32-count sequence by performing each move for 8-counts…
