First Week of Dancing Classrooms

This week we started our Dancing Classrooms program. We are learning to dance during our recess time for two days a week. I really think you students are enjoying yourselves, whether you want to admit it or not.

So far, we have learned
  • Red Light Green Light steps (as part of the Merengue dance)
  • Escort Position
  • Proper hand positions for dancing with a partner
I was so impressed after Thursday's class when our instructor said our class had learned the steps faster than any class she had taught in a while! Despite some silly behavior (which I think was because some of you were nervous), you ARE learning to dance!!  I also enjoyed that we got to learn some line dance steps at the end of the class on Thursday....especially when the song used was a #1 hit back when I was young. Brought back some memories for me.

How do you feel after the first week of dance is over?

When we started the dance class I was very nervouse. I like the part when we did line dancing .It was really funny when we got to do our own thing .When we warming up it's fun because you start at sixteen then eight,four,two,one.It was very wierd when we had to touch people's hand.

When Mrs.Staton first told our class about dancing class rooms I was kinda nervous and I wansn't that into dancing with the boys in the classroom.when we first danced in our first lesson it was fun and was laughing and listening very good.But I didnt know we had to dance with the boys i thought we could dance with the girls too.After the first dance class I was used to it but the boys were still acting like the girls had girl coodies on our hands.My favorite dance of the dancing classrooms is the Fox Trot,and green light red light dance. At the end we have to get in a position acting like we're saying goodbye to the King and Queen.Now I already know how to slow dance when I go to the prom.I love dancing classrooms it's so fun you can exsperience alot of dancing that you never herd of. Like the Diminican Republic dance that was a whole lot of fun.I would love to learn more dances from them!!!
