You should clarify that dancers make use of both public and private spaces. When dancers use locomotor motions to navigate the shared environment, they are said to be in general space. In "self-space," dancers move about the stage without really walking.

Notes - Description of step – Explanations |
Have students increase the challenge by choosing more challenging actions to perform both in place and while moving about the classroom. Consideration: Brainstorm a vocabulary of kinetic nouns and verbs to use in your group discussion. Both the terms you prompted the students to use and the ones they used to describe their own actions can be utilized here. Determining which actions are best performed in self-space, which are best performed in general, and which can be performed either way is a group decision.

What is the worst that could happen with this lesson? |
The problem is that the students may not have understood how the lesson is played. They must understand the steps. Here are some quick play instructions
|
What will you do to correct it? |
1. Instruct students to stand and prepare to move. 2. Choose your freeze category. 3. When students hear music, they begin to dance. A question appears on the screen when the music stops. 4. Allow students to respond or react, then click Continue (online) or say it to resume dancing. 5. After one minute, go over the questions and prompts that appeared in that session. Then play some more, choose a new freeze, or get back to teach!
