Dance with Books Winter Dance Presentation



Students in Dance with Books danced wonderfully at the Winter Dance Presentation.  It was also great that the Parents participated in a dance activity. 


For the Dance Presentation, Students performed Pandogo, an African Dance from Ghana.  Then, Students created movements to the book “Watch Me Dance.”  They did character walks to interpret the characters in The Nutcracker.  For their last dance, they created letter shapes and danced with a partner. Then, Parents were asked to participate.  The Parents and their children created movements using colorful scarves.  They took turns copying each other.  Parents were also given a “Letter Shapes Dance” Worksheet as a fun activity to do with their children at home.
