Okay guys and girls, we're going todo what is known as a Pause Groove. You start off, step, together, step, together, step, together,step, together. That's the feet.
Hands: here, close, here, close. Cross, here, aim, strike. So, one, two, here, cut, strike. Strike.
And that's how you do a Pause Groove.
Video summary
Kenrick 'H20' Sandy teaches a breakdown of a 'pause groove' as used in street dance.
He begins by demonstrating the move, concentrating on the lower body and feet.
He then teaches the arms separately and finally brings both movements together.
The music is added and he performs the pause groove with teaching points.
This clip is from the 成人快手 series, Street Dance Masterclass.
Teacher Notes
The movement can be broken down and incorporated into any dance piece to demonstrate street grooves.
Timing is tricky and the arm moves unexpected, but pupils with some dance background should master it and be able to choreograph around it.
Exploring the art of street dance, this series will be relevant for teaching physical education and dance at primary level.
