Exercise Creation

For exercises led by a Lindy Hopcats community member (as opposed to a working instructor), we request that the point person planning the exercise either use an exercise they’ve seen instructors run before or collaborate with additional team members. We expect that the collaborative process will help create an exercise with the most benefit for a wide range of people by having different perspectives working on it. And the process of working through the exercise with one or more collaborators will help your dancing too.

Key Elements

  1. Talk less. Instead, reduce main ideas to 1-3 key points
  2. Gamification that encourages teamwork, e.g.,
    1. Something like Lindy tag
  3. Rotations should have a purpose
    1. Example: Small 4-person groups and assign specific roles to each person in a group
  4. Add constraints to make exploration easier, avoid vague language that could lead to confusion
