About This Video

In this guided dance video, Rachel and Jen lead participants through a disco-themed movement activity.

The video begins with a Wiz-inspired warmup. Participants can dance solo or with a partner while practicing linked-arm movement, swinging the feet out and around, backing up, and adding their own style.

Rachel then teaches classic disco dance moves, including pointing up and down across the body, rolling the arms, step-together-step-touch movement, slow turns with arms floating up and down, hip wiggles, thumbs up, and crossing the heart. Participants practice the steps before trying them with music.

The video ends with a Love Train-inspired cool down. Rachel and Jen guide participants through joining hands, lifting arms up and down, making a train around the room, taking turns leading and following, moving like a snake through the space, and finishing with a partner high five.

This video gives participants a guided dance activity focused on rhythm, coordination, partner awareness, disco movement, flexible choices, self-expression, and joy.

Good For

• Adults with IDD who enjoy dance, music, disco, partner movement, rhythm, or guided exercise.

• Caregivers looking for a movement video with a warmup, dance instruction, repeated steps, partner options, and a playful cool down.

• Adult day programs, home routines, or group activities about dance, body awareness, coordination, rhythm, social movement, self-expression, and movement safety.

• Participants who benefit from visual modeling, flexible pacing, repeated movement patterns, partner options, and encouragement to move in their own way.

How to Use This Video

Use this video as a guided dance activity for a home routine, day program, small group, partner activity, party theme, or supported movement session.

Caregivers can help participants choose a safe place to move, clear the area, adjust the volume, and decide whether to dance standing, seated, solo, with a partner, or with modifications. Participants can follow Rachel and Jen closely or adapt the movements to what feels good in their own bodies.

This video includes a partner warmup, taught disco steps, music, freestyle choices, train movement, and a playful cool down. Caregivers can pause between sections, repeat the step practice, or use only the warmup or cool down if a shorter activity is needed.

Because dance involves movement, balance, coordination, music, space awareness, turning, and possible partner contact, caregivers can provide support with pacing, safety, hydration, breaks, volume, personal space, gentle hands, and movement modifications as needed.

At the end, participants can notice how their bodies feel, name a favorite disco move, and return to this dance again to build comfort with the rhythm and steps.
