How to do it
- 1Start the music. Participants dance freely, utilizing all available space.
- 2Introduce 'Freeze Dance' rules: when the music stops, players must immediately freeze in a creative pose.
- 3Introduce 'Shadow Tag' rules: when the music is playing, one person is 'It' and tries to tag another player's shadow (if playing outdoors in sun) or simply tags them.
- 4Alternate rounds between tagging and freezing, demanding constant adaptation and movement shifts.
- 5Encourage dramatic, exaggerated moves and poses.
