Students are dancing with different intensity levels in a hot
classroom; Students mouths will get very dry, due to the warm air,
therefore allow students to get water breaks. Inform your students
not to drink or leave any water bottles near the equipment.

Modifications / Adaptations:
If students are have difficulties performing at a certain level, they
can change the settings to easier or slower. This also works if the
students are not being challenged enough.
