Shadows’ Walk

Here is the dance program for the dance made famous by electric guitar playing 60’s group ‘The Shadows’

When writing programs (and dance steps) you also need to be able to say some instructions must be repeated a given number of times. We’ve used a REPEAT jigsaw block. You need to say how many times you want instructions to be repeated. You must also say which instructions are to be repeated. Our jigsaw piece has a hole in it. The pieces in the hole are the ones to repeat the given number of times.

Pretend to be the robot and follow them yourself.
