Across the Floors


This exercise is an absolute life saver!  Start out by having your students line up two by two or three by three on one side of the room.  Put on some good music with a good beat, and teach them to jazz run or make up a dance move that they can implement while moving across the floor. 

The music selection for this exercise should be upbeat and fun.  This is a time for your students to become better friends and let loose.  Color guard can be stressful at times and this is a great way to learn essential skills plus have fun at the same time!

Here is a list of some good songs to play during "Across the Floor" time:

1.  Michael Jackson: The Way You Make Me Feel

2.  Center Stage Soundtrack: Jamiroquai: Cosmic Girl, Red Hot Chili Peppers: Higher Ground, Jamiroquai: Canned Heat.

3.  The Matrix Reloaded Soundtrack: Furious Angels (Disc One), Teahouse (Disc Two)
