Stimulus / Inspiration
Watch the clips for some inspiration for your choreography. Hannah Montana – Hoedown Throwdown (start at 2 minutes) Steps – 5678 (good beat/moves for inspiration)

Warm Up Listen to the music, with a partner can you create 5 different movements with your feet?

Key Features of Line Dancing
Unison movements – all dancers perform the same moves at the same time in straight lines. Changing direction – repeated movements in different directions. Foot led moves – most movements come from the legs/heels/toe/feet

Performance Push your higher ability pupils on by asking them to get into pairs and create their own 4 counts of 8 ending with a finishing position. I have usually spread the dance over two lessons, on the second pupils are allowed to bring in props (shirts/boots/hats) for them to perform.
