","steps","

Engage - 5 minutes:
- Ask students:
- Explain to students they’ll be learning the Lindy Hop, a partner dance. They’ll be working with a partner, so they’ll need to decide who will lead or follow.
- Tell students the following:
Explore - 30 minutes:
- Play ‘The Lindy Hop’. Pause and/or rewind the video as needed.
- After the video, explain the Lindy Hop was another dance where dancers experimented or improvised moves.
- Play 2 minutes of “Hellzapoppin”. Direct students to look for moves they recognize.
Extend I - 15 minutes:
- Tell students they have an opportunity to change the Lindy Hop. Remind students that while they saw amazing moves in the clip, they need to remain safe while improvising. No one may add flips or lifts.
- Dance 3 Basic steps and freeze. Then, ask students:
- Once students have agreed to the variation, dance 3 Basics followed by the new move. Repeat several times.
- Freeze students.
- Select one student pair to demonstrate the Inside Turn and the Come Together. Tip: If you do not have an even number of students, decide how you will rotate students in and out of partnerships. One possible option is to create two circles, an inner and an outer. The inner circle includes the Followers and the outer circle, the Leaders. After each combination is practiced, have the outer circle take a step to the right, dance a combination and repeat.
- With all students practice the combination with the turns added. The sequence is:
- Ask students:
- Once students have agreed to the variation, practice the new combination.
- Allow students several minutes to practice.
Extend II - 5 minutes:
- Play the YouTube clip “Hellzapoppin” for music and inspiration.
- Encourage students to use the taught dance and the video to create their own version of the Lindy Hop. Prompt students to focus on moves that best represent their personal style.
- Provide students 5 minutes to improvise the Lindy Hop to “Hellzapoppin” either independently or with a partner.
Reflect - 5 minutes:
- Have the class form a circle with student performances in the center. Tip: If students are nervous about performing, offer to go first. Being silly and daring will show students it’s okay to try. If the group struggles with these types of activities, turn the Reflection into a discussion.
- Invite students to present their dances.
- After 4 minutes ask students to describe the Lindy Hop and what they remember about its importance.
Outcomes to look for:
- The Lindy Hop is apparent in the students’ improvised dance.
- New dance moves match the students’ personalities, or their preferred styles.
