Dancing Classrooms

We have been participating in the Dancing Classrooms program for the past few weeks.  We have learned several dances so far, like the Polka, the Tango, and the Foxtrot.    At the beginning, many of you were very uncertain about how you felt about the idea of dancing with your classmates.  I think you all have done very well so far and I am proud of all you have accomplished.  But I'm curious  about if you feel differently.

Leave me a comment telling me how you feel about it now!

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?

We are going to be a DANCING CLASSROOM!

Yesterday, we had two ladies from the Dancing Classrooms program come and talk to us about the new program we will be starting next week. We are going to participate in a 10 week dance program, where we will learn different types of dances. We may learn line dances or partner dances. We will be using our classroom and dancing twice a week during our recess time.

I would love to hear your thoughts about this program.

Are you excited?   Nervous?  Scared?  

Write a comment telling me how you feel about this program.  Later when the class is over, we will ask this question again to see how your first opinion changed!
