You can drag and drop your blocks from the left-hand side to the center of the page. You can snap blocks one to the other. Blocks will work only if connected.<br \/>\nBy clicking \u201cview code\u201d at the end of each level, you can see the code (in Javascript programming language) behind blocks.<\/p>\n<p>The more you play, the more moves you have, to create your special dance choreography. Try to follow your dance elf-teacher to re-create the right sequence of moves.<br \/>\nWhile you code your elf, why don\u2019t try out some of the moves to stretch your legs and arms?<br \/>\nMake sure to warm up a bit, before starting.<\/p>\n<p>The programming language use in this activity is very similar to Scratch.<\/p>\n<p>Please share your dance on twitter using the #adventSTEAM<br \/>\nWe
