Coach_Vazquez7 Sep 13 @ 8:04 PM EDT

A.1 I use dace at every warm up I do. I think music, rhythm and dance get the students on a good mood for learning #espechat

bobcatsPE Sep 13 @ 8:04 PM EDT

I like to add a dance in the beginning as a warmup activity #espechat

DMickBeversdorf Sep 13 @ 8:04 PM EDT

Darci from WI here!!! #espechat

PhysEdApps - Moderator Sep 13 @ 8:04 PM EDT

alexobrien Sep 13 @ 8:06 PM EDT

@PhysEdApps Do you find it difficult to meet the grade level standards with the dance you incorporate? #espechat

lovepe Sep 13 @ 8:07 PM EDT

A1. Have done a dance of the month. Music with most activites. #espechat

PhysEdApps - Moderator Sep 13 @ 8:07 PM EDT

@alexobrien Not difficult to include. Had to learn a few things. Need to kick it up a few notches though. #espechat

Coach_Vazquez7 Sep 13 @ 8:07 PM EDT

@alexobrien I combine fitness movements with dance moves. So they they get a full body warm up in 5 minutes and actually enjoy it #espechat

alexobrien Sep 13 @ 8:08 PM EDT

@lovepe Do you have a dance list of the songs of the month? #espechat

superdanpe Sep 13 @ 8:08 PM EDT

A1- Art Ed in Ky (elementary level) = visual, music, drama and dance which typically falls to PE Ts. #espechat

cpola17 Sep 13 @ 8:08 PM EDT

Christina from Melbourne, I must admit dance is something I really struggle with and dislike. But I know how important it is #ESPECHAT

rich_wiles - Moderator Sep 13 @ 8:09 PM EDT

A1. Dance is a part of well rounded program. Standard 1=E5 and Standard 2 and 3. Also Social so Standard 4. Locomotor #espechat

bobcatsPE Sep 13 @ 8:09 PM EDT

I usually let the students pick the dance as long as it is clean, they are great dancers and love to teach each other #espechat

PhysEdApps - Moderator Sep 13 @ 8:09 PM EDT

.@EPEWCP is represented well at #ESPEchat tonight!!!!

MrCsajko - Moderator Sep 13 @ 8:09 PM EDT

@cpola17 Thank you for your honesty #espechat Sometimes we need to step out of our comfort zones for students to step out of theirs

AllexysO Sep 13 @ 8:09 PM EDT

A1. I plan to use simple choreography for a fun warmup. I also want my students to feel free to add their own moves #espechat

cpola17 Sep 13 @ 8:09 PM EDT

A1 no music, no engagement.. That's the way I see it. Music just gets everyone in the zone and ready to go #ESPECHAT

Coach_Vazquez7 Sep 13 @ 8:10 PM EDT

@alexobrien no, sorry. #espechat

DMickBeversdorf Sep 13 @ 8:10 PM EDT

@smsandino I have used jigsaw in the middle school and I think it would work at the elementary as well #espechat

alexobrien Sep 13 @ 8:10 PM EDT

@superdanpe Do you feel comfortable handling those topics or is it more like overload? #espechat

A1 I use it as a warm up. Evry few wks we start a new song. do a few steps each day then put it 2gether & they remember it all yr #espechat

rich_wiles - Moderator Sep 13 @ 8:10 PM EDT

Love the new Ion Rock Blocker this year. #espechat

cuylerpeteacher Sep 13 @ 8:10 PM EDT

Warm ups with music...ss make up their own dance moves. Find a good example and everyone copies. #espechat

lovepe Sep 13 @ 8:10 PM EDT

A1 In Oct., whole school flash dance of Thriller after parade. Practice in PE. #espechat

cpola17 Sep 13 @ 8:10 PM EDT

@MrCsajko totally agree and I'm a big fan of getting out of comfort zones. I need more knowledge in this area #ESPECHAT

alexobrien Sep 13 @ 8:10 PM EDT

@DMickBeversdorf @smsandino Can you think of potential obstacles? #espechat

McFadden_PE Sep 13 @ 8:11 PM EDT

A1: we use dance for warm ups all of the time and I coordinate those to the lessons for the day! #espechat

superdanpe Sep 13 @ 8:11 PM EDT

@alexobrien Glad I don't have to be a "dancer" to teach dance! #espechat

DrKimbro Sep 13 @ 8:11 PM EDT

Gr8 example of dev appropriate (skills and concepts).....provides different versions and tutorials. https://t.co/X4p3gF6ZAj #espechat

alexobrien Sep 13 @ 8:11 PM EDT

@superdanpe ain't that the truth! :) #espechat

MsTuckerRocksPE Sep 13 @ 8:11 PM EDT

Kennedra from MD #espechat I work Tuesday nights so may be tuning in late.

Coach_Vazquez7 Sep 13 @ 8:11 PM EDT

A.1 You can actually use music/dance as a cool down also. The right kind of music and movements helps the students cool down. #espechat

alexobrien Sep 13 @ 8:11 PM EDT

Question 2 is coming up...#espechat

DMickBeversdorf Sep 13 @ 8:11 PM EDT

@alexobrien @smsandino possibly the Ss understanding of the written dance moves #espechat

MrCsajko - Moderator Sep 13 @ 8:12 PM EDT

@Coach_Vazquez7 Do tell....? #espechat What music?

PhysEdApps - Moderator Sep 13 @ 8:12 PM EDT

@lovepe That's awesome Barbara! #espechat

alexobrien Sep 13 @ 8:12 PM EDT

@Coach_Vazquez7 By controlling the BPM of the songs? #espechat

DrKimbro Sep 13 @ 8:12 PM EDT

#espechat Christina, find a youtube channel you like and "borrow" until you're comfy!

alexobrien Sep 13 @ 8:13 PM EDT

Q2. What types of dance/music do you teach or want to teach? #ESPECHAT https://t.co/FI0yrhG1FG

lovepe Sep 13 @ 8:13 PM EDT

@smsandino @PhysedNow @CAHPERD I've done jigsaw in both MS and ES. Great technique! #espechat

MsTuckerRocksPE Sep 13 @ 8:13 PM EDT

A1: Teach dance in PE & use dance to celebrate bdays in PE. No sweet treats..Ss can lead a dance instead . #espechat

cpola17 Sep 13 @ 8:13 PM EDT

@DrKimbro yes! Great thank you! Any recommendations? #ESPECHAT

DrKimbro Sep 13 @ 8:13 PM EDT

YES!!!! See Coach Teri's youtube channel!!!! @alexobrien did choreo #espechat

alexobrien Sep 13 @ 8:13 PM EDT

@MsTuckerRocksPE Create a party out of exercise! I love it! #ESPECHAT

teeeri Sep 13 @ 8:14 PM EDT

@Coach_Vazquez7 @alexobrien same! I throw in muscular endurance moves so it's not all cardio & they're getting the total package #espechat

smsandino Sep 13 @ 8:14 PM EDT

@alexobrien @DMickBeversdorf ss unable to teach their group the move they learned because they might be shy #espechat

alexobrien Sep 13 @ 8:14 PM EDT

@CoachWilliams23 Absolute, wait for Q6. and we'll chat about how to integrate dance without dance lol #espechat

Coach_Vazquez7 Sep 13 @ 8:14 PM EDT

@MrCsajko Remember, music is a big emotion manager. Uptempo songs are going to get you hype. Slow, downtempo songs calms them. #espechat

MsTuckerRocksPE Sep 13 @ 8:15 PM EDT

A2: Would love to teach folk, country line, hip hop & ballroom dance. Colleague teaches ballroom. #espechat

lovepe Sep 13 @ 8:15 PM EDT

@DrKimbro @alexobrien Thanks for the reminder! I'll be doing this one for sure! #espechat

riocryst2 Sep 13 @ 8:15 PM EDT

@alexobrien I attach short dance moves to QR codes. Ss scan and select three moves. Use moves from scan to create own dance. #espechat

DrKimbro Sep 13 @ 8:15 PM EDT

#espechat Chad Triolet! Just look him up on Youtube!!! He's wonderful! simple, clear, and on the beat :)

alexobrien Sep 13 @ 8:15 PM EDT

@smsandino tapping into Q3...we'll discuss more soon. #espechat

PhysEdApps - Moderator Sep 13 @ 8:15 PM EDT

@alexobrien A2) Kinder is moving to music. Third is popcorn dance. Fourth is square dance & seventh is Tinikiling. #espechat

superdanpe Sep 13 @ 8:15 PM EDT

A2- Less of what dance and more of how and why people of many cultures dance. #espechat

PhysEdApps - Moderator Sep 13 @ 8:15 PM EDT

@MsTuckerRocksPE That's a great idea Kennedra! #espechat

rich_wiles - Moderator Sep 13 @ 8:15 PM EDT

A2. Cultural, Line Dance, Levels, Directions, Locomotor Non Locomotor, Arts Integration Lessons. Adding Drum Fit this year. #espechat

lovepe Sep 13 @ 8:15 PM EDT

@alexobrien I have a fairly long list of dances I have done and choose from there.#espechat

peshoes Sep 13 @ 8:15 PM EDT

#espechat A2- I teach popular line dances

bobcatsPE Sep 13 @ 8:16 PM EDT

I have my reluctant boys pretend that they scored a touchdown and create an endzone dance as a way to celebrate and create a dance #espechat

alexobrien Sep 13 @ 8:16 PM EDT

@riocryst2 If you feel comfy we'd love to see. #espechat

MsTuckerRocksPE Sep 13 @ 8:16 PM EDT

@alexobrien Yep! Ss were upset when the school said no more bday cupcakes. I said, "Let's Dance". Ss like it. #espechat

smsandino Sep 13 @ 8:16 PM EDT

A2 I like to teach dances that may go along a current song like last year I used the Whip/Nae Nae because it's relevant #espechat

Coach_Vazquez7 Sep 13 @ 8:16 PM EDT

@alexobrien Yes, the kind of music you select plays a big role on how you want the students to perform. #espechat

cpola17 Sep 13 @ 8:16 PM EDT

A2 I have used QR codes with different styles of dance and Ss were required to unpack and discover #ESPECHAT

MsTuckerRocksPE Sep 13 @ 8:16 PM EDT

@riocryst2 @alexobrien Love this idea! #espechat

DrKimbro Sep 13 @ 8:16 PM EDT

#espechat I teach our PETE college students folk, country, social, sometimes square...they love it!

alexobrien Sep 13 @ 8:16 PM EDT

@smsandino Do you ask for student input or do you already know the popular songs? #espechat

riocryst2 Sep 13 @ 8:17 PM EDT

@alexobrien nt sure if on home computer will check. #espechat

teeeri Sep 13 @ 8:18 PM EDT

A2 I use trendy songs so kids know them & are excited 2 learn. also songs from popular movies & those dances r usually kid favs #espechat

MsTuckerRocksPE Sep 13 @ 8:18 PM EDT

@bobcatsPE Yessss! Had boys give me a sports move from sports they play. They enjoyed the dance unit more #espechat

Coach_Vazquez7 Sep 13 @ 8:18 PM EDT

A.2 I teach a lot of zumba kids dances and help the students to create their own "Fitness dance routine" #espechat

alexobrien Sep 13 @ 8:18 PM EDT

@superdanpe critical thinking and thought provoking... i dig it! #espechat

MrCsajko - Moderator Sep 13 @ 8:18 PM EDT

@teeeri Could not agree more. Provides motivation for S's on the fence about opening up #espechat

smsandino Sep 13 @ 8:18 PM EDT

@alexobrien this particular one it was something my ss kept dancing in class so I had an inkling but would love to have ss input #espechat

alexobrien Sep 13 @ 8:19 PM EDT

OK, keep this thing bee boppin' with Q3. #ESPECHAT

PhysEdApps - Moderator Sep 13 @ 8:19 PM EDT

@cpola17 Can you share your QR codes for #espechat?

alexobrien Sep 13 @ 8:20 PM EDT

Q3. How do you make sure all students can be successful? #ESPECHAT https://t.co/3wcnTLahCR

alexobrien Sep 13 @ 8:20 PM EDT

@Coach_Vazquez7 Have you ever gone to zumba or thought about cert. #espechat

DrKimbro Sep 13 @ 8:20 PM EDT

#espechat @cpola17 u can make anything "dance" e.g. comfy swinging acket after shuffling? ...now just put it to beat... :) ur dancing

MsTuckerRocksPE Sep 13 @ 8:20 PM EDT

A2: Did Zumba @Field Day last yr. Invited Zumba instructors- brought special lights & a mic. Ss loved it. #espechat

DrKimbro Sep 13 @ 8:20 PM EDT

yes!!! #espechat now nobody "already knows this"..... and learning about GLOBALity

peshoes Sep 13 @ 8:20 PM EDT

@smsandino @alexobrien I have to ask because what I think is popular the kids may not. #espechat. My kids still love whip and nae nae

alexobrien Sep 13 @ 8:21 PM EDT

@MsTuckerRocksPE Did they volunteer or was there a cost? #espechat

rich_wiles - Moderator Sep 13 @ 8:21 PM EDT

@MsTuckerRocksPE I know this sounds crazy but try Cancun Cantina in Glen Burnie they have classes for country line dance. #espechat

PhysEdApps - Moderator Sep 13 @ 8:21 PM EDT

@alexobrien A3) lots of practice and using Ss to help coach. #espechat

superdanpe Sep 13 @ 8:21 PM EDT

A3- Creative dance is expressive by nature....there is no wrong way to do it= success! #espechat

bobcatsPE Sep 13 @ 8:21 PM EDT

geo mats are great for kids that need some visual cues on where to step, helps them move more to a space instead of an open area #espechat

DrKimbro Sep 13 @ 8:21 PM EDT

YES!!!! volleying, running, sliding, striking (oh btw, they're dancing)...also....call it "move to the music" #espechat

MrCsajko - Moderator Sep 13 @ 8:21 PM EDT

A3: Success in dance comes in different forms. Dancing in public for the first time can be a success. Appreciate the milestones #espechat

Coach_Vazquez7 Sep 13 @ 8:22 PM EDT

@alexobrien No, I just do a lot of research and watch videos about how to create a kids fitness dance routine. #espechat

alexobrien Sep 13 @ 8:22 PM EDT

@MrCsajko meet the Ss where they are, right?! :) #espechat

DMickBeversdorf Sep 13 @ 8:22 PM EDT

A3: start slow and simple, get Ss excited, dance with them and have fun! #espechat

MsTuckerRocksPE Sep 13 @ 8:22 PM EDT

A3: Tie the dance into Ss prior knowledge..Whip Nae, Nae video & how it relates to fitness. #espechat

alexobrien Sep 13 @ 8:22 PM EDT

@bobcatsPE picture and link? #espechat

DMickBeversdorf Sep 13 @ 8:23 PM EDT

@riocryst2 @alexobrien Can you share any of these dance clips that you use? #espechat

PhysedNow Sep 13 @ 8:23 PM EDT

A3 coop learning like jigsaw is a great way to give Ss an opportunity to share what they know and help others learn = success #espechat

MsTuckerRocksPE Sep 13 @ 8:23 PM EDT

A3: Ss create a dance & then perform...all groups perform @ the same time so no one feels singled out. #espechat

alexobrien Sep 13 @ 8:23 PM EDT

@MsTuckerRocksPE Always coming full circle and linking it back the 'why are we doing this.' #espechat

Coach_Vazquez7 Sep 13 @ 8:24 PM EDT

A.3 I use a lot of "self creativity" get every student to create a 2 sec dance move and then combine all of them to perform a song #espechat

teeeri Sep 13 @ 8:24 PM EDT

A3 making Ss comfortable. If Ss wanna b in back row &barely do the moves, I let them. As long as they aren't interrupting other Ss #espechat

peshoes Sep 13 @ 8:24 PM EDT

A3 I like to turn the lights down, have kids watch a video on the wall so Ss are not focused on what others are doing. #espechat

MsTuckerRocksPE Sep 13 @ 8:24 PM EDT

A3: I dance w/Ss to show them how much I enjoy it & that I'm not afraid to learn new steps. #espechat

AllexysO Sep 13 @ 8:24 PM EDT

A2. different genres each week...maybe from different cultures. I want kids to learn something new while they have fun dancing. #espechat

MsTuckerRocksPE Sep 13 @ 8:25 PM EDT

@alexobrien Absolutely! #espechat

smsandino Sep 13 @ 8:25 PM EDT

A3 Using cues that they can draw from background knowledge. For example the superman I used "hole the motorcycle handlebars" #espechat

riocryst2 Sep 13 @ 8:25 PM EDT

@alexobrien I take dances like nae nae and w Ss breakdown in term of laban framework: fwd, bkwd, They have to create own version #espechat

MsTuckerRocksPE Sep 13 @ 8:25 PM EDT

@Coach_Vazquez7 This works well! Ss love to be creative! #espechat

PhysEdApps - Moderator Sep 13 @ 8:25 PM EDT

@peshoes I always have Ss who are afraid b/c "people are watching." No one is watching, everyone worried about themselves #espechat

cpola17 Sep 13 @ 8:25 PM EDT

@PhysEdApps absolutely. I'll send it across hopefully today (my time) and add on the hashtag #ESPECHAT

MsTuckerRocksPE Sep 13 @ 8:26 PM EDT

@riocryst2 @alexobrien Great idea...like the tie in to the framework. #espechat

rich_wiles - Moderator Sep 13 @ 8:26 PM EDT

Tweetdeck just crashed here. Loading back up #espechat

PhysEdApps - Moderator Sep 13 @ 8:26 PM EDT

@cpola17 Great! Thank you! #espechat

PhysEdApps - Moderator Sep 13 @ 8:26 PM EDT

@rich_wiles I was having issues with TweetDeck last night. #espechat

cpola17 Sep 13 @ 8:26 PM EDT

Sorry all, will need to end the chat from my end. I'll send those QR codes. Look forward to staying on longer next time #ESPECHAT

PhysEdApps - Moderator Sep 13 @ 8:27 PM EDT

@cpola17 Thanks for joining us Christina! #espechat

smsandino Sep 13 @ 8:27 PM EDT

A3 My Whip/Nae Nae cues https://t.co/M8b9FP8GWz #espechat

peshoes Sep 13 @ 8:28 PM EDT

@PhysEdApps and I look worse than any of them. They have nothing to worry about. lol #espechat

MsTuckerRocksPE Sep 13 @ 8:28 PM EDT

@PhysEdApps @peshoes I have dance groups "perform" @ the same time Ss forget about the audience. #espechat

alexobrien Sep 13 @ 8:28 PM EDT

Use this link to share your notes after the chat is over. Anyone can edit. https://t.co/Q7B2DT77fs #espechat

alexobrien Sep 13 @ 8:29 PM EDT

Use this link to share notes. https://t.co/jW2o5zNEG0 #espechat

teeeri Sep 13 @ 8:29 PM EDT

A3 (continued) my Ss rarely don't want to do dances or b successful b/c I make it about fun, fitness,& expression. not perfection #espechat

rich_wiles - Moderator Sep 13 @ 8:29 PM EDT

A3. Have Ss to build confidence with rhythm first using beat and tempo with hands then progress to simple movements. Layering #espechat

Coach_Vazquez7 Sep 13 @ 8:29 PM EDT

A.3 I use my whistle as a cue to let the students know i'm changing the movement. #espechat

McFadden_PE Sep 13 @ 8:30 PM EDT

A3: we do partner teaching or I divide Ss into color groups and then # Ss 1red, 2red and then go back to teach your 8 count #espechat

alexobrien Sep 13 @ 8:30 PM EDT

Q4. How do your Students respond to dance/rhythm/music in your class (Successes and challenges)? #ESPECHAT https://t.co/cIhoQd0hRN

alexobrien Sep 13 @ 8:30 PM EDT

OK, Student voice student choice time with Q4.....#espechat

alexobrien Sep 13 @ 8:30 PM EDT

@McFadden_PE Love it @DrKimbro thoughts on 8 count? #espechat

McFadden_PE Sep 13 @ 8:30 PM EDT

A3: I always model and give cues to help along the way as well. I feel Ss are more willing to move if I am too. #espechat

lovepe Sep 13 @ 8:31 PM EDT

@PhysEdApps @rich_wiles Me too! Could only see some questions, not all and some answers, not all. Didn't correspond. #espechat

superdanpe Sep 13 @ 8:31 PM EDT

A4- Ss respond based on how content is presented. Enthusiastic and engaging = Eager and active learners. #espechat

MrCsajko - Moderator Sep 13 @ 8:32 PM EDT

A4: "...at first some are afraid....they are petrified. Thinking how I could ever dance with people at my side" #espechat too much??

PhysedNow Sep 13 @ 8:32 PM EDT

A3 I really like #TDfU too. I really want to try it this year. #voxcast on TDfU coming soon too 😜 #espechat

McFadden_PE Sep 13 @ 8:32 PM EDT

A4: I find that if it goes with the lesson theme, it's a song they enjoy, if they work w/friend to learn moves... #espechat

Coach_Vazquez7 Sep 13 @ 8:32 PM EDT

A.4 They respond very well unless they don't like the music genre or feel uncomfortable with a movement. #espechat

PhysEdApps - Moderator Sep 13 @ 8:32 PM EDT

@lovepe @rich_wiles TweetDeck and Twitter sometimes both crash. Try to reload and try again. #espechat

alsandel32 Sep 13 @ 8:32 PM EDT

#espechat what activities are usually your students' favorite?

alexobrien Sep 13 @ 8:32 PM EDT

@MrCsajko more cowbell! #espechat I love it!

PhysEdApps - Moderator Sep 13 @ 8:32 PM EDT

@MrCsajko EPIC ANSWER! #espechat

peshoes Sep 13 @ 8:33 PM EDT

A4 my Ss LOVE music. Even music they aren't familiar with. I think they just like a good beat. They enjoy dancing in the classroom #espechat

smsandino Sep 13 @ 8:33 PM EDT

A4 They love the fact that it's "in" so they can use it at a dance. Always have some that are worried about what they look like #espechat

teeeri Sep 13 @ 8:33 PM EDT

A4 it's rare that Ss don't get excited about dance. It brings a sense of community 2 our class & they all want 2 b a part of it #espechat

alexobrien Sep 13 @ 8:33 PM EDT

A4. We are the salespeople. Ss will buy our product (Dance), if we sell it! #espechat

McFadden_PE Sep 13 @ 8:33 PM EDT

A4 cont. or even allow them to create their own moves, Ss r so much more willing. #espechat

MsTuckerRocksPE Sep 13 @ 8:33 PM EDT

A4: Make dance a part of PE frm the beg of the yr. Sneak in various silly dances/moves so Ss get used to it. #espechat

lovepe Sep 13 @ 8:33 PM EDT

I also do a "Dance Club" at lunch recess weekly. Learn a dance, choose a dance or two to do. #espechat

cuylerpeteacher Sep 13 @ 8:33 PM EDT

A4- partner up...1 is leader 2 is follower who copies #1 the switch roles #espechat

DrKimbro Sep 13 @ 8:34 PM EDT
