Brain Breaks engage children with tons of physical education activities, dancing, creative movements, counting, patterning, shapes, freeze dance, self-esteem and more.

Dancing Star can be compared to the hugely popular Cha Cha Slide. Children follow directions and move together.

You can use brain breaks to start your day, anytime children need a positive physical activity, after lunch or for indoor recess on days with bad weather.

When I perform any of my brain breaks songs in concert, children love it. Dancing Star is no exception.

My brain breaks songs can be used in physical education classes too. Teachers love how the children have to stop and put their hands to their ears to listen carefully. This is a great song to teach children about following directions.

Dancing Star is on my album, Brain Breaks:

(Li Hing Hula) MUVE is a multi-generational, always spontaneous dance exercise. You dance just the way you like it. If you want inspiration you can follow the movement ideas of a lead-dancer called the MUSE. This role can be played by anyone. MUVE is community dance, either in a group or individually in front of a TV or computer. Our message is “you can’t do it wrong” as long as you have fun, mind your body’s needs and of course others.

(Black Horse and the Cherry Tree) MUVE offers a comprehensive school physical activity program (CSPAP) that is free for anyone to use. The method and the different dance activity games are detailed at the website http://www.MUVE.com. To learn how to activate students with short dancing-breaks during the school day, and/or to set up an after school activity program with MUVE check out the spontaneous group dancing games here http://www.muve.com/muve-dancing-games/.

This particular video shows Maggie teaching the “OPPOSITES”. Students learn to express spontaneous movements inspired by opposing concepts like stiff/loose, big/small, high/low, slow/fast, heavy/light, happy/sad, front/back. Of course you can use any kind of opposite or let the students create their own opposite pairs before you start the dance. The above concepts have proven to be great inspiration tools. If you want to use visual cues to help boost creativity and excitement check out the many tools available from MUVE http://www.muve.com/tool-box/

This group is dancing on the “TRIANGLES-Grid” with Maggie leading the whole class in a dance-along to demonstrate various movement options. Two student volunteer share the Center-TRIANGLE, as all others follow loosely. The games is called “Follow the MUSE in the Center,” and is often used at the beginning of a session. Following the MUSE (lead-dancer) is a great way to help students explore movements they would not necessarily think of doing and thereby widening their repertoire of possibilities.

(Comin’ Home) The MUVE school physical activity program can be easily implemented for any grade level. The biggest fans are elementary students. They are still open to un-inhibited moves and got some pretty good motors skills. Here you are seeing grades K-3rd. This game is called the Cascading WAVE. For details look for this dancing game at the website http://www.muve.com/muve-dancing-games/

I like to use toys to inspire movement ideas. Here each dancer leads one movement to the center and back. The whole group follows “loosely” as we say. Sometimes all kids have the same toys (balls, rags, plates), but here we all have a different item. We learn how we can adjust our moves depending on the toy.
There is a whole section about TOYS on the blog http://www.muve.com/blog/dancing-games-with-toys-and-concepts-for-group-exercise-and-fun/

MUVE Dancing Games are great group activities for kids, adults and seniors. And teens and young adults dig these dance activity ideas as well. Check it out here http://www.muve.com/blog/young-muve/
