What can we use if we don't have a dance tutorial video or good speakers?
If you can't find a tutorial video, use the official performance or an instrumental track on a phone or tablet and learn by watching the performers slowly while counting the beats out loud.
I'm struggling to match the routine when the music is full speed—what should I do?
Go back to practicing the first and next 8-count chunks slowly without music, combine them while counting out loud, then practice with the music at a slower speed before attempting full tempo.
How can we adapt the challenge for different ages?
For younger kids pick a 15–20 second section, shorten the warm-up to 1–2 minutes and simplify moves into 4-count chunks, while older kids can keep a 30–60 second section, add styling and longer repetitions to polish the performance.
How can we make the performance more creative before sharing on DIY.org?
Add simple props or coordinated costumes, experiment with the facial expressions and hand styling from the instructions, film multiple angles, and edit the best takes into a final clip to upload to DIY.org.
