Dancers build their bodies by strengthening muscles, stretching, and practicing good technique.  Using images from road construction, this Tutu Tales lesson creates a fun obstacle course.  Students navigate cones, road blocks, road signs, and pot holes to practice becoming strong dancers.  Additionally, children will improve their coordination and cognitive skills.

Recommended Resources:

• “Roadwork” by Sally Sutton & Brian Lovelock
• Small plastic cones
• Colored dots to mark spaces
• Two – three extra-long jump ropes
• Stop & Go/Fast & Slow signs
• Music for the dance portion of the lesson. Consider using songs with a “road,” “construction,” or “travel” theme.
