Rhythmic Skills Standard 1.5 – Throw an object accurately and with applied force, using the underhand, overhand, and sidearm movement patterns. Carnival Hacky Sack Equipment: Foot bag, milk carton Players will throw a footbag at empty mild cartons. The object is to knock the milk cartons down. The game can be played overhand, underhand, and sidearm. Frisbee Golf Equipment: Frisbees Each player will get their own disc. At the beginning of every hole, players will “tee off”. After they have “teed off”, players will stand next to their disk. Then on the teacher’s command, players will throw their disc toward the hole. When the disc strikes the hole, that player will wait to move to the next hole. Holes can be different stationary items found around campus. Passing Performance Equipment: Balls, hula hoops Each student gets three balls to throw. The student must stay behind a designated throwing line and use all three ways to throw the ball.

Combinations of Movement Patterns and Skills Standard 1.7 – Develop, refine, and demonstrate routines to music. Dance Vocabulary Since a dance is really just a succession of step patterns, it helps the kids to have a DANCE VOCABULARY. A DANCE VOCABULARY consists of words that describe how a dancer should move to complete a given pattern of steps. Here are some of the step patterns used in the dances described in this syllabus, as well as some others you and the children could consider. TERM DESCRIPTION HOME The position where you start a step pattern or dance FAN Keep heel at HOME while moving the rest of the foot ¼ rotation to the side, then back TOUCH Bring one foot next to the other foot, without a weight-shift HEEL TOUCH Touching the floor with the heel just in front of HOME, then placing it at HOME TOE Touching the floor with the toe just behind HOME, then placing it at HOME SIDESTEP Stepping to the side with one foot, bringing the other foot up to it, and then stepping again with the first foot SLIDE Stepping to the side (or forward) with one foot and sliding the other foot up to it SHUFFLE Stepping right, left, right or left, right, left HEELS APART Rotating both heels apart, then together again VINE Placing one foot to the side, placing the second foot behind and pas the first foot, and placing the first foot again to the side SCUFF or BRUSH Swinging the leg forward and scraping the floor with the heel ¼ TURN or PIVOT Stepping forward with one foot and turning with both feet on the floor ¼ turn to the direction indicated ½ TURN or PIVOT Same as ¼ turn, except turn ½ in the direction indicated STEP BACK Take small backward steps as indicated ROCK FORWARD Placing the foot forward and shifting weight on it, then returning HOME ROCK BACK Placing the foot back and shifting weight on it, then returning HOME KICK A low forward kicking motion ¼ SPIN Stepping forward with one foot and spinning on that foot only ¼ turn in direction indicated ½ SPIN Same as ¼ SPIN, except spin ½ in the direction indicated MILITARY TURN Pivot ¼ turn to direction indicated after placing weight on the heel of one foot and the toe of the other (can be repeated up to four times CHARLESTON Stepping forward with right foot kicking left foot forward, stepping back with left foot to HOME, and stepping with right foot behind HOME JAZZ BOX Crossing right foot with right foot behind HOME stepping back with left foot, placing right foot at HOME, and placing left foot at HOME Dance Steps “Monster Mash” This may be a Halloween line dance favorite with your students.

These activities can be used throughout the year. Activities should be adapted for different age groups and suggestions are provided throughout the guide. Repetition of a physical activity five or six times during the course of a month, for example, will allow children to become familiar with the activity, and reduces the time required for instruction in the activity. As a result, children have more time to be physically active. Leaders can also create variations on the activities, and can also encourage kids to create their own variations.

  • Francis Brunn Performed in the Center Ring Alone, with All Activity Shut Down in the Side Rings
    Volume 30, Number 6 October/November, 1978 INTERNATIONAL JUGGLERS ASSOCIATION “The Greatest Juggler Since the Dawn of Creation.” At this time the Ringling Circus Show was top on the bill. Francis Brunn performed in the center ring alone, with all activity shut down in the side rings. He was announced as “The World’s Greatest Juggler - greater and ten times faster than Rastelli.” After three years with the Ringling Circus, Francis Brunn left with his sister Lotte, who had her own juggling act since 1951. He was already recognized as the outstanding juggler in the U.S. It was then that his world career - as a juggler in a new style - began. Francis Brunn appeared in a black suit and introduced dancing steps in a Flamenco style into his act. Francis Brunn is the only variety artist who has ever worked as co-star to the big American artists in almost every famous hotel along “the strip” in Las Vegas. This great juggler has given command performances for the royal families in London and Amsterdam, and has also performed for President Eisenhower in the White House. His juggling skill won him the Circus Hall of Fame Award in 1969 and the Rastelli Award in 1970 at the World Juggling Concur rence in Bergamo, Italy. Francis Brunn has been acclaimed the world’s greatest juggler for over forty years by critics and audiences who have witnessed his mastery all over the globe.

Studium terminologii żonglerskiej Factors influencing the adoption of anglicisms. A study of juggling terminology Abstrakt Celem artykułu jest określenie czynników, które wpływają na proces adaptowania zapo- życzeń leksykalnych z języka angielskiego wśród polskich żonglerów. Użytkownicy języka stojący przed pokusą zaadaptowania terminu angielskiego w celu nazwania nowej rzeczy lub zjawiska mają do wyboru jedną z trzech podstawowych strategii: mogą spróbować znaleźć lub stworzyć polski odpowiednik angielskiego terminu, stosować anglicyzm oraz polski odpowiednik równolegle lub używać wyłącznie anglicyzmu. Na wybór strategii wpływają przede wszystkim: 1) dostępność polskiego odpowiednika (fonetyczno-)seman- tycznego; 2) ekonomia językowa, czyli prostota składniowa i morfologiczna anglicyzmu oraz odpowiednika polskiego; 3) stopień utrwalenia odpowiednika polskiego; 4) stopień specjalizacji anglicyzmu. Ogólną tendencją wydaje się być preferowanie słów prostszych, lepiej utrwalonych i bardziej wyspecjalizowanych. Słowa kluczowe: anglicyzmy, zapożyczenia leksykalne, Nowy Cyrk Abstract The aim of the article is to determine the factors influencing the adoption of lexical borrowings from English into the terminology of Polish jugglers.

    POSITROID VARIETIES: JUGGLING AND GEOMETRY ALLEN KNUTSON, THOMAS LAM, AND DAVID E SPEYER ABSTRACT. While the intersection of the Grassmannian Bruhat decompositions for all co- ordinate flags is an intractable mess, the intersection of only the cyclic shifts of one Bruhat decomposition turns out to have many of the good properties of the Bruhat and Richardson decompositions. This decomposition coincides with the projection of the Richardson stratification of the flag manifold, studied by Lusztig, Rietsch, Brown-Goodearl-Yakimov and the present au- thors. However, its cyclic-invariance is hidden in this description. Postnikov gave many cyclic-invariant ways to index the strata, and we give a new one, by a subset of the affine Weyl group we call bounded juggling patterns. We call the strata positroid varieties. Applying results from [KnLamSp], we show that positroid varieties are normal, Cohen- Macaulay, have rational singularities, and are defined as schemes by the vanishing of Pl ¨ucker coordinates. We prove that their associated cohomology classes are represented by affine Stanley functions. This latter fact lets us connect Postnikov’s and Buch-Kresch- Tamvakis’ approaches to quantum Schubert calculus. CONTENTS 1. Introduction, and statement of results 1 2.

  • Siteswap Ben's Guide to Juggling Patterns
    Siteswap Ben’s Benjamin Beever ([email protected]) AD2000 Writings on juggling, for: 1) Jugglers 2) Mathematicians 3) Other curious people ABOUT THE BOOK The scientific understanding of ‘air-juggling’ has improved dramatically over the last 2 decades. This book aims to bring the reader right up to the forefront of current knowledge (or pretty close anyway). There are 3 kinds of people who might be reading this (see cover). As far as possible, I wanted to cater for everyone in the same book. Maybe this would help jugglers to appreciate maths, mathematicians to get into juggling, or even non-juggling, non-mathematicians to develop a favourable perception of the juggling game. In order to fulfil this ambition, I have indicated which parts of the text are aimed at a specific kind of reader. Different fonts have been used to indicate the main intended audience. Everyone (with many exceptions) should be able to understand most of the writings for the curious. However, non-jugglers may not be able to envisage the patterns discussed in the jugglers text, and non-mathematicians may find some of the concepts in the technical sections hard to get their grey matter around. I must point out however, that juggling is a fairly complicated business. It can be very hard to understand what’s going on in a juggling pattern when it’s being juggled in front of you, and it’s not always easy to understand on paper. This book introduces ‘Generalised siteswap’ (GS) notation, and shows how most air-juggling patterns can be formalised within the GS framework.
