Algorithm March
The Algorithm March is a dance fad created in Japan, based on the children's television series PythagoraSwitch. It is attributed to Arugorizumu Koushin - Itsumo Kokokara.
The basic steps are as follows, repeating as necessary:
- Bend knees, reach out straight with hands
- Lean back hands on hips
- Turn around bow
- Face right, right hand horizon sweep
- Bend knees breast stroke
- Pick up from ground
- Shake arms downwards
- Flap arms
The dance can be performed in lines, moving canon style one at a time. After each movement, the line takes a step forward.
