Drums Alive Golden Beats Chapter 8: Golden Beats Class Design Adding Modifications

The choreography ideas provided throughout the various Drums Alive ® CD booklets and or DVD´s are ideas and progressions that you can work towards.
Remember you do not need to utilize all of the choreographies provided for you.
Mix and Match. Find out what works best for you an instructor as well as for your participants.
Remember to teach to the physical and mental levels of your students.
Provide modifications.
Replace high impact moves with low impact moves. For example, instead of a jumping jack, tap the toe out to the side (right, then left).
Replace quick traveling moves such as a shuffle with a walk or a two-step.
If movements around the ball are too fast, have participants walk behind the ball.
Remember that quick turning motions may be contraindicated for many participants.
Replace turns with marching in place facing front, or march to one side and then march to the other side.
