Video: Dance Warm Up Key Stage 2

Check out the video below for some inspiration for your dance warm up for Key Stage 2 children.  I have included lots of general ideas suitable for boys (as well as girls!).  Please take any actions that you like and add them into your own warm up.

Warm ups should last for 3-5 minutes, mobilise major joints and muscles and raise the heartbeat.  They should also be appropriate to the main activity you are delivering, so include movements / concepts from your lesson plan into your warm up.

Please ensure the children are wearing kit and have jewellery removed.  I normally dance in bare feet.  Also make sure you have an appropriate space that has been risked assessed.
