Groove to the Beat

Students in K–12 will collaborate in grade-appropriate groups to design and perform 8-count dance routines, developing rhythm, creativity, and teamwork through scaffolded, tiered challenges.

Differentiated across K–12, this lesson builds motor skills, musicality, collaboration, and self-expression at each developmental level, ensuring all students engage meaningfully even with a substitute teacher.
