Warm-up: Mirror

Your teacher will lead you through this warm-up as a class. This warm-up is meant to help build relationships by observing and connecting with your partner.

Directions

This activity is best performed in pairs. In the case of a group with an odd number, allow one group to be three.

Partners stand and face one another. You can take turns leading the movements. Observe each other's movements and deliberately begin to mirror their actions and facial expressions as precisely as possible.

Watch the video below for an example.

2. Did you both fall in line and lose track of who was leading and who was following?
