What can we use if we don't have closed-toe shoes, a water bottle, or access to the MadsMess tutorial?
If you don't have closed-toe shoes wear non-slip socks on carpet, substitute a cup and a small t-shirt for the water bottle and towel, and if MadsMess isn't available use another online dance tutorial or a printed step list to follow the choreography.
I'm losing my balance or can't coordinate when combining moves—what should I try?
Ensure your cleared space is about the size of a dining table, do the 60-second march and the 10 slow arm circles each way to warm up, pause the MadsMess tutorial after each move to practice with counts, and mark foot positions with tape to help combine moves at half speed three times.
How can I adapt the routine for younger or older children?
For younger kids reduce the warm-up to 30 seconds and do five arm circles each way and run the routine at quarter speed, while older kids can extend the warm-up, add small jumps or faster arm flourishes, and try running it at full speed more than three times.
How can we make the routine more creative before sharing on DIY.org?
Build on the 'add one small personal move' step by creating a short signature entrance or simple costume, recording multiple takes to edit a clean clip, or inviting a friend for a partner flourish to personalize your DIY.org post.
