Summer Reading: Dance Lesson for ages 3-Grade 2

Wiggler: Shake Your Sillies Out
Book: Hilda Must Be Dancing by Karma Wilson
Activity: Dance the limbo, play Twister to get loosened up for our dance instruction!
Activity: Dance class lead by Kim Myers of Dancetime Studio, Brandenburg
Preschoolers learned a dance to "We're Going to the Zoo" and Grades 1-2 learned steps to "Yankee Doodle Dandy." The children also learned about the history of dance, it's styles, and more.
Craft: Dance streamers. Each child received a paper plate with the center cut out and they added different color streamers around the sides. These look lovely when waved while dancing!

If you liked our dance unit, you'll love Dance Day! This event will be held on Friday, July 10th at David T. Wilson Elementary from 1-3 and features the Wulfe Brothers and Dancetime Studio Dancers. Crafts and dance activities will follow the performances. Hope to see you there!
