A demonstration dance, in the form of two lesson plans, to celebrate reaching the end of the RSCDS Teaching Certificate course.
I sometimes felt I was trying to emulate an alien creature which could do all kinds of unnatural things with hips, ankles and toes.
There is plenty of homework and preparation of many detailed lesson plans.
The lessons must follow a very prescriptive format: practising all the steps in a dance; doing a skills exercise for the main formation which is then practised thoroughly; revising a second formation and putting the whole dance together.
If this dance seems a bit rushed in places it is an accurate reflection of the experience!
