DANCER:Okay guys, I'm going to teach you the stomp to retreat spin.
DANCER:What you're going do is you're going to take your right leg, raise your right leg in the air, and hop onto your left. Like so.
DANCER:Then you take that right leg, put it down, and then jump out.
DANCER:You do the exact same thing on the opposite leg. Raise the leg up, with a hop, put that foot down, then you jump out.
DANCER:From there, you're going to go to a retreat. It's the exact same thing, but you're turning. You're going to take your right leg again, jump up, turn just a quarter, put the foot down, then you jump out.
DANCER:Do the exact same thing again with the opposite leg.
DANCER:Turn the other way, jump up, foot up, foot down, jump out, and that's your retreat.
DANCER:From here, as soon as you've jumped out on your retreat, you can finish it off with a nice spin.
DANCER:And that's your stomp to retreat spin.
Video summary
Turbo teaches a breakdown of the 'stomp to retreat spin' used in house dance.

Teacher Notes
The movement can be broken down and incorporated into any dance piece, to add some high energy House style.
Teach slowly to start and allow pupils to build their speed.
This could be performed as a question and answer sequence, e.g. with pupils working in pairs and taking turns to perform.
Exploring the art of street dance, this series will be relevant for teaching physical education and dance at primary level.
