Teaching the Dance Concepts: Tempo
Tempo refers to the speed of which dancers move. While there are numerous tempos we start with the basic: Fast & Slow

How to Teach the Concept:

I love to include props when teaching about tempo! Some of my favorite props include:

🔴 Music Makers such as egg shakers, maracas, drums or jingle bells
🟠 Scarves! Scarves are a great way to play and explore tempo
🟡 Parachute! The parachute is a great prop for tempo exploration as you shake the parachute fast or slow!

Music! 

Finding the right music is important when teaching tempo! Some of our favorite songs for each prop are:

🟥 Egg Shakers: I know a Chicken by The Laurie Berkner Band 

🟧 Scarves:
