Boys: All Star Simplified

Due to lack of practice time, we simplified some of the dance.  Please use this video as a reference.  It's not perfect and you can't see all of the steps, but it should be a good guide.  Let me know if you have any questions.

Sr. Girls: Catch a Falling Star

Here's the tap routine.  I filmed it in mirror image, which is how I teach my classes, so the dancers should be familiar with it.  Write down any questions they have with the dance and send them to class so we can work on resolving them during class.

Sr. Girls Dance: When You Wish Upon A Star

I performed the dance as a mirror image so the girls do not have to flip it around while doing it.  So if I raise my right hand, the girls will face the TV (or computer) and raise their left hand.  This is how I've been teaching the dance classes, so it should be familiar to them.  When we perform we will have wands that we'll use.  Since we don't have the wands yet, we are using straws for practice.  If your daughter has any questions while practicing, please write these down and send them to class with her so we can be sure to address them.  Also, there were a couple times in the video where I had to back up so that I would still be in the shot, please disregard these steps.  The dancers should know when they're supposed to be backing up and when they're not.  :)

Boys Dance: All Star

The video is not perfect and there's a whole section in the middle where Mike is my "helper" but gets a little lost.  But it should give them a good idea of when to do the moves and how.  It's a fast song, but I'm confident they can do it.  :)  I did the dance in Kai's place, so Kai should do just as I did.  I did not do it in mirror image (like with the other videos) because there were a couple parts that were too difficult for me to invert.  Nathan's part is mostly the same as Kai's but with a couple parts where he mirrors Kai or does something a little different, and he should be aware of those parts. Oh, there's a part where I say "this is where they do the worm" but I don't actually do it.  I'm afraid of re-injuring my back, so I won't be doing the worm, but I'd like the boys to give it a try.  Take notes on where they get confused when practicing it at home and bring those to class each week.  :)  Good luck!
