Invent a new dance move

What can we substitute if we don’t have comfy shoes or paper to write our move ideas?

If you don't have comfy shoes or paper, use non‑slip socks or sticky grip socks instead of comfy shoes and write or draw your three move ideas in a phone notes app or on a whiteboard rather than paper.

What should we do if we keep losing the beat or the sequence falls apart while practicing the three moves five times?

If you lose the beat while practicing the three moves five times, use a metronome app or clap the counts out loud and keep the beat counts written next to each move so you can follow them while you practice.

How can this activity be adapted for younger kids or older teens when they write and practice their three moves?

For younger kids, have them draw or act out the three move ideas and use one‑count steps with an adult helping to record, while older kids and teens can write detailed beat counts, add more complex counts, and self‑record longer takes for DIY.org.

How can we extend or personalize the dance move before recording and sharing on DIY.org?

After choosing the best three moves and adding a fun pose, personalize your sequence by adding a prop (hat or scarf), creating a short transition between moves, experimenting with different song sections, and trying varied camera angles when you record the final video.
