Dancin' In the Dark

This week the classes will be finishing up their dance unit.  This dance unit focus on the benefits of dance: great exercise, fun, and a lifetime activity.  The students participate in a number of line dances like the Hokey Pokey, Chicken Dance, Cha Cha Slide, Cotton-Eye-Joe, Men In Black, and Macarena.  They also have time at the end of each class to free dance and express themselves how they think it fits the music.  To make the class more exciting we have the lights off and a funky light projected up on the wall.  This helps convert the gym into a "dance club."  The students really love this and helps get them a little more excited about dancing.  Ask your children to show you their great moves!
