Overview:

Rhythms should be taught like other sport skills. Avoid striving for perfection so students know it is acceptable to make mistakes. Teach a variety of dances rather than one or two in-depth in case some students find it difficult to master a specific dance. Make dances easy for students to learn by implementing the techniques found in this resource. 

This resource includes choreography for 6 folk dances.
