Geometry Dance

Описание

7th hour dances for their final in geometry. They practiced this dance which included moves for 45 vocabulary words from geometry, then performed it the next day. I choreographed the dance, and performed with them so they wouldn't get lost. The song is "Rock It" by Herbie Hancock, which is a great song:)

Edit: I have had several requests to add the lyrics so here they are! This is not really a song or even a rap but just words to help the students connect the vocabulary word with the way their body is moving to show the concept.
