About the project:
Teaching a person a new dance is a lot like teaching a computer to complete a set of actions! It's important to give specific instructions and make sure that they're in the right order!
Your task:
Teach your sprite a set of dance or gymnastics moves! Make sure your program calls out the name of each move as your sprite demonstrates it!
