The Hague Shuffle

Are you interested in participating with your school?

This can be done in consultation with us. Contact: zakelijk@lonnekevanleth.nl.

After a pilot of the Haagse Shuffle experience in November 2020 and a successful three-year trajectory, there are still a few places available for new schools for school year 24/25. Thanks to the Haagse Shuffle, children move much more at school and learn extra dance skills. The movement moments are embedded in the daily activities at school.

Groups 6, 7 and 8 each receive twelve workshops per school year, spread over the school year at the school's request.

These workshops have a structure:

• Group 6 learns a simplified version of the Hague Shuffle, different dance styles and the basics of dancing figures (squares, lines).

• Group 7 learns to create a choreography from everyday movements and practices the original version of the Shuffle.

• The group 8s keep moving with the original version of the Shuffle, but create their own school dance.

• For groups 3, 4 and 5, group 6 uses an online tutorial to create short energizers and breathing and stretching exercises that can easily be performed in class in between.

• In addition, a Challenge Day is organized annually! Final schools can win the Hague Shuffle Challenge Cup and participate in a sporting outing.

• We inform teachers in an annual two-hour workshop about the why, how and what of the content curriculum. When teachers consciously promote a healthy lifestyle and perhaps even shuffle along, students are often even more motivated in the workshops.
