Name of Activity: Triple Step Stomp (December 2011)

** Repeat from beginning.

Variations:

Try starting the dance with the opposite foot (i.e., stomp left) and continue throughout the dance. Challenge students to add claps on the triple steps.

Assessment Ideas:

Have students practice with a partner on Counts 17-32. After practice, have another set of partners observe and offer feedback.

Adaptations for Students with Disabilities:

Use slower music if students are having a difficult time with the dance. (This is true for all students.) Feel free to modify any of the steps if students are having difficulty.
