Warm-Up Cha Cha SlideThe Cha-Cha Slide is a well-known all-around fun and easy dance students will enjoy. In this dance, students will learn various movements including the hop, stomp, clap, crisscross of legs, the Charlie Brown(rocking backward and forward), and sliding. Also they will practice knowing directions left, right, front, and back. Students will need to know how to follow general instructions in order to be successful in this lesson. Throughout the lesson students will need to be aware of where their bodies are so they do not cause harm to others.

1) Have students scatter around the playing area and find a spot.

2) Explain again to the students that they have super glue on their shoes and to listen to instructions.

3) After explaining the instructions, explain to the students that they will be performing non-locomotor movements.3) Explain to the students that they are very fortunate because there are two DJs in the house (DJ Mr.Mitch & Mr.David).4) The Cha-Cha Slide song will play and the students will have to follow the teachers do the dance in front of the class.

5) Once the song is done, have the students pat themselves on the back and then clap for one another.
