Youth Group Games- Team building for Teens- Great Ice breaker
(That's not my name) When we begin a workshop with a room full of teenagers, we like to show them how it's done with the help of a couple of daring volunteers. We use dance games for team building activities and these games can work great as an icebreaker. In this case two winners camp staffers volunteered to be the "Center-MUSES" together with me. The inspiration for the dance movements, the 3 Basic MUVES are used (Walk, Tap & Root). This helps give students a foundation to create their dance steps.

Learn to dance with 3 Basic MUVES – System for spontaneous dance exercises
(Cry Baby) The 3 Basic MUVES were one of the first discoveries I made after starting to teach spontaneous dancing to adults, seniors and the elderly in 1998. I was looking for basic principles and found that most movements can be broken down into 3 basic movements. The first MUVE is "walking" (left foot - right foot.) And how can we move when we are not switching from one foot to the other? - That MUVE I call "ROOT." Bend your knees and do a little hop and you are "rooting." The third discovery was "TAP." It is a natural extension of "WALK" and means that, although we accentuate each beat, we do not shift our weight. A shift occurs only every second step (beat) and the accentuation is "free" (free of having to support the weight of the body.)
