A super-easy explanation! There are lots of different versions and variations of this dance. The steps in this video are how we are going to dance it on Rainbow Day.
Jerusalema Dance Part 2
Once you've mastered everything in this video you could try practicing along to the song. You can change the speed settings in youtube videos to go a bit slower if you need to. You start off facing the front, then turn 90 degrees to your left each time you repeat the steps, ending up back where you started and doing the whole thing again... This is the whole pattern:
Left x 4 Right x 4
L R L R fwd (L) fwd (R) fwd (L) Turn
Tap (L) step (L) cross (R in front of L) step (L)
Tap (R), back (R), back (L), back (R)
There are lots more Jerusalema videos at the bottom of this page, including another dance tutorial and full dance demo with music if you want to have a practice.
'Don't Stop Me Now' Actions demo
I think it's pretty clear I don't know what I am doing in this video so hopefully you will all do much better than me with these actions! I can't wait for you to show me in your music lessons.
'Don't Stop Me Now' Complete song with actions
The sound isn't great on this so once you've got used to singing the song with me, try it with just the backing track (next video down)
QUEEN - Don't stop me now backing track only
There is a PDF with all the words underneath this video.

When you have got the hang of the steps you can dance along to this. You might need to practice at a slower tempo at first. Click on settings at the the bottom of the video and then change the playback speed. 0.5 is really slow, 0.75 is a bit slow and normal is the full speed.
