Here's an example of what our primary students are doing. These videos are called "Fit in 5" and we plan to come up with a series of them. Try this one then play it again but ignore Coach Jamie (just like most of his students do) and make up your own moves! Would you like to star in a Fit in 5 video? You can upload yours on the cdldailychallenge.com website under "Help us"; our primary students would be delighted to see you!
