Instructor Notes:

Introduction

STEM From Dance instructors created a routine set to the song "Take Time" by Backroad Gee, which includes LED strips running down the sides of their pants. They use tilt sensors on their bodies to determine whether or not the LED strip is purple or green. Since the tilt sensor is on their hips, they rely on movements that require bending their knees to trigger the changes.
