Dynamite - Kidz Bop Kids version - (2010 - Kids Bop 19)Beginning dance formation:
Students should be scattered so they have space to move sideways and a clear view of the teacher or SMART Board.Description of Idea
This routine adds a little P90x Kenpo with some fitness moves to create a fun, creative activity.
Routine begins with first verse "I came to dance..."
R. heel 2x, L. heel 2x, R. knee 2x, L. knee 2x, R. kick 2x, L. kick 2x, 7 air punches, CLAP on 8th beat
Circle jump for eight counts & clap for “On and on”, Reverse direction and REPEAT
For "I throw my hands up in the air" -
R. hand up 2x, L. hand up 2x, both hands up 2x, tap legs & clap, REPEAT entire sequence 4x
Next "Cause we gon' rock this club" -
Side step/stomp bring feet together 2X to the Right & clap on 4th beat, REVERSE direction REPEAT
Do this sequence for entire chorus - 4x through
* I tell my students to put a little "attitude" in their step/stomp.
Now "I came to dance..." repeats routine from the beginning
R. heel 2x, L. heel 2x, R. knee 2x, L. knee 2x, R. kick 2x, L. kick 2x, 7 air punches, CLAP on 8th beat
Circle jump for eight counts & clap for “On and on”, Reverse direction and REPEAT
For "I throw my hands up in the air" -
R. hand up 2x, L. hand up 2x, both hands up 2x, tap legs & clap, REPEAT entire sequence 4x
Next "Cause we gon' rock this club" -
Side step/stomp bring feet together 2X to the Right & clap on 4th beat, REVERSE direction REPEAT
Do this sequence for entire chorus - 4x through
* I tell my students to put a little "attitude" in their step/stomp.
Bridge "I'm gonna take it all..."
Free-style for 4 measures of 8 counts - students move their own way to match the music
At "Cause I, I, I,..." perform slow jumping jacks for 3 measures of 8 counts
When the song gets to “Hands in the air”, circle jump for eight counts & clap, reverse direction and REPEAT (2 measures of 8 beats)
THEN for the next 2 measures of 8 beats, perform your side step/stomps with attitude, Side step/stomp bring feet together 2X to the Right & clap on 4th beat, REVERSE direction REPEAT
At "I throw my hands up..."
R. hand up 2x, L. hand up 2x, both hands up 2x, tap legs & clap, REPEAT entire sequence 4x
Finish strong "Cause we gon' rock this club" -
Side step/stomp bring feet together 2X to the Right & clap on 4th beat, REVERSE direction REPEAT
Do this sequence for entire chorus - 4x through
Last chance to "Bring the attitude"
Just under 3:30...
Variations:
1. Partner Challenge - Students work together (may be side-by-side or facing each other) during routine.
2. Dance-Off Challenge - Class is divided in half. Students from each group face each other and complete the routine. Points awarded for accuracy, attitude, enthusiasm, creativity, etc.
Assessment Ideas:
I have a video recording of a class performing the routine. I will play this on the SMART Board, and students follow their peers (if they need help) while I assess their ability to match the rhythm.
Adaptations for Students with Disabilities
Depending on the level of disability, movement/leg activities can be replaced with extra arm movements, or repetitions can be reduced to match individual stamina.
