1. Good foundations - 2. Building together

Justin Fletcher has the first of two dance sessions exploring jobs on an imaginary building site.

1. Good foundations

We start with a lively warm-up based on the actions of a mechanical digger - and these actions are revisited at the end of the sessions when the pupils form group-diggers. Pupils act in role as builders as they get ready for work, walk to work and then carry out a range of tasks on the building site. The main tasks can be rehearsed and combined to form a short class dance.
