WHAT IS IT?

This model presents four different types of dances
and backgrounds related to it. The dancer is dressed
in a manner appropriate to the choreography. It shows
the basic movements and general appearance of each
dance.

HOW IT WORKS

The illusion of movement is achieved by asking a
specific turtle to set different shapes. The movement in two
of the backgrounds is the default shaped turtles
wiggling.

HOW TO USE IT

Each setup button is specific to the dance it corresponds
to. However, the master Go button will start each of the
dances, one after the other. Have fun!

THINGS TO TRY/EXTEND

The sequence of the dance movements can be altered
by reordering the procedure. The participation of the
background in the dance is to add to the mood. Adding
music would further add to the mood and make the dance
so much better.
