WB Dance Series, Set 7: I Want It That Way / Lucky: Lyric/Choreography Pack & CD

Gilpin's choreography captures the high-energy spirit of these pop hits without requiring students to already know how to dance. The inclusion of both complete performance and separate accompaniment tracks gives teachers flexibility to use this in rehearsal, at assemblies, or as a standalone performance piece. Kids genuinely want to learn these songs, and having everything coordinated (lyrics, moves, music) removes barriers to getting them dancing quickly.

Infectious pop energy meets pure fun. These are songs built for movement, and Gilpin's choreography honors that spirit by creating moves that feel natural and celebratory rather than stiff or overly technical. Students will feel the groove in every phrase.

Elementary school programs, gym classes, dance classes, camps, and after-school groups serving students ages 6 and up. Teachers and coordinators looking for ready-to-go choreography that connects to music students already love will find this especially useful.

• Teach the choreography in sections that mirror the song structure. Break the routine into verse, chorus, and bridge segments so students internalize the moves alongside the music.
• Use the accompaniment track during rehearsal to build confidence. Students can focus entirely on the choreography without worrying about singing in tune.
• Have students watch the complete performance track first to see the full routine in action. This visual modeling makes the learning process faster and more engaging.
• Keep repetition light and celebratory. Praise effort and energy over perfection; these pieces are about joy and expression, not precision.

Open a school assembly or end-of-year showcase with a high-energy dance number that gets the entire audience smiling. You can also program each piece separately across different events, or combine them as a back-to-back set for a special performance. This works equally well as a standalone activity during gym or dance class as it does as a formal concert piece.

• Matching movement to musical phrasing and beat
• Following choreography in unison with peers
• Building confidence through full-body expression
• Coordinating rhythm, lyrics, and physical movement simultaneously
