Begin learning the dance routine, making your palms open and close like flashing lights. Follow along with the teacher’s instructions on clapping, moving to the beat, turning on the spot and trying to stay in time!

To cool down, follow the teacher’s advice, moving slowly, gently swaying your arms, wiggling your fingers and brushing your face. Keep a flat back when doing any forward folds.
