Instead of following an instructor these young adults create their very own dance improvisation. They inspire each other in groups of three.

But mainly it's for fun - they don't even realize that they are doing a high intensity aerobic dance workout. Benefits are physical as well as emotional.

Free dance brings happiness through the physical joy of movement through music.
Maggie teaches the Basic MUVES to a group of pre-school teachers. MUVE dancing is easy! A lot of people believe they can not dance. This video is here to prove them wrong. So if you are a "non-dancer," try it and dance along. You might be surprised how fun it is to move to music. The Basic Dance MUVES can show you how to dance! This is an improvised dance style, so follow loosely! No need to be exact. Video shows a group of pre-school teachers in a workshop with Maggie Kunkel in Honolulu, Hawaii. This is their introduction to MUVE and their very first dance. You can see four more dances from this workshop at the MUVE website video blog.
MDG • Bajo Un Mismo Sol - Winners' Camp teens in their first "All Triangles MUVE." This is a dancing game set up where every person in the game gets to rotate into the center spot to lead the whole group! Again the grid on the floor is made up of Triangles. After all players in the center triangle have rotated to the "MUSE" Spot (leading spot) the 3 people of each Triangle move to the next Triangle on the grid and a new group of 3 dancers take over the center Triangle and the "lead" for the whole group. Dancing along is always loose and spontaneous. The MUVERS pick up the basic dancing idea from the MUSE and make it their own by interpreting the dancing in their very personal style. I play this dance game towards the end of the workshop when the kids have gotten used to the basic ideas of inspiring each other. They have already led each other in the more "private" independent triangles set up, where they were just leading each other in groups of 3. Now the whole group is watching, and it can bring up some insecurities for the novice, who is now put before the eyes of everyone to procure a creative idea. Simple dance moves are the answer! MUVE dancing games are dancing workouts for people of all ages. You can easily set up this easy dance workout with your groups of seniors, your party guests or your school class.

Pre-school teachers create movements inspired by the ideas of the MUVE Animations. You can download the "Animation-graphics" as a PDF, then print it out and start playing. Divide your group in pairs, line them up and divide them into two circles. It is not important to have even numbers. It's actually nice to end up with different partners each time to start down the line.
How do you get a group of teens to dance exercise? Let them play! The MUVE Dancing Games (MDGs) provide simple game instructions to liven up any group at school, at home, or at a party. This MDG is called "Catwalk in Pairs." Two parallel lines on the ground create a runway. Couples parade down the middle, split up at the bottom and move back to the top on the sides, while cheering on the next couples. This game has elements of creative movement exploration and the beginnings of performance skills training. The kids in this dance video are campers from the Spring Winners Camp in Hawaii. Lady Gaga's "Born this way" gets the teens in the spirit for letting loose their "locomotor skills" ( walking, jumping, skipping...) and even "non-locomotor skills" (bending, turning swaying ...)

First dance of the Spring Winners' Camp MUVE workshop. All kids are brand new to MUVE. At this stage of the game some of the kids are still a bit bewildered about the idea of "dancing along".

As demonstrated here in their simplest shape, anyone can do them spontaneously. They are perfect to get this group of teens moving and grooving. Dancing to the popular song "Firework" also helps everyone to get inspired. Maggie will be releasing 6 of the songs from this workshop and you will be able to see how quickly the teens warm up to the improvised dance method.

Maggie is creating workouts for teenagers and young adults. This dance workout video it's full of simple dance moves that anyone can dance along to. However, you might want to pace yourself, we are entering aerobic dancing territory! The young adults you are seeing here in this dance improvisation workshop are loosely following the lead dancer (MUSE) in the center. Take a deep breath and jump in! It's a great stress buster! -- For this, the second dance of the workshop, Maggie asked for volunteers to help her lead the group. So two participants get their first taste of being a Muse. All others dance along loosely. They are instructed to turn within their own triangles each time the Muses turn. This prepares them for the next step, the Multiple Triangles Dancing Game, where they all will be leading the dance within their individual triangles.
www.muve.com A Group Dancing Game at a Winners' Camp staff workshop, 8/2010. This spontaneous dance video demonstrates how much fun a large group of people can have with a stack of paper plates. Toys are often used in MUVE Dancing Games (MDGs) to ignite creative play. Having two plates in your hands shifts the focus from thinking to playing. This super lively improvised dance is an "independent TRIANGLES Dancing Game." All players have formed groups of three, and each triangle has it's own "Muse," as we call the lead dancer in MUVE. Independent means that the inspiration comes from within the each triangle, and not from a singular, central Muse-spot, which is common in many MUVE dances. All triangles are continuously rotating, and everyone gets to be the lead-dancer (Muse) for as long as they choose to. Being a dance leader to just two other dancers is less intimidating for the novice. All dancers in this games are new to MUVE, which proves the point that you do not need to be prepared to do a MUVE-dance, just willing to let loose and have fun with your friends at home, in school or anywhere you can find a dance floor. MGDs are great disco party games, a wonderful way to connect with friends and loved ones in an easy cardio workout that is full of fun, excitement, creativity and community.

www.muve.com Group dance-along at a preschool staff workshop, 8/2010. This lively spontaneous dance is a "Center MUSE Dancing Game." In this dance video two volunteers help Maggie lead a group of about 30 preschool teachers. As always, in a MUVE-dance-along, participants follow the inspirations of the "Muse" (lead dancer) loosely. A MUVE workshop usually starts with participants following the lead of the lead-Muse (Maggie) in learning the Basic MUVES. The Basic MUVES are an easy stepping system to improve confidence and dancing skills for newcomers to dancing. Here you see the second phase in the MUVE workshop when participants are introduced to the principle of the "Muse -- Rotation." The physical location of a dancer determines his/her role in the group dancing game. Whoever occupies the "Muse-Spot" is in the lead. Rotating clockwise, moves in a new Muse with fresh ideas and her personal spin on things. Even though the players on the outside triangles keep following the center triangle, they practice the clockwise rotation within their own little group of three dancers to get ready for phase three -- when everyone will be leading and inspiring others as a Muse. All dancers in this games are new to MUVE, which proves the point that you do not need to be prepared to do a MUVE-dance, just willing to let loose and have fun with your friends at home, in school or anywhere you can find a dance floor. MGDs are great disco party games, a wonderful way to connect with friends and loved ones in an easy cardio workout that is full of fun, excitement, creativity and community.

Here all participants are creators. Each triangle has a "Muse-Spot". Whoever lands on the spot is the lead dancer. To initiate a change, the "Muse" claps hands and turns, before moving on clockwise.
All triangles turn independently. Players alternate leading the dance. A fully self animated dancing game. No teacher necessary! Try it at your next party!
