Dance!!

Well, we are officially finished with our dance unit. It was such a blast!! We covered a ton of dances.
Check this out: Dances for 3-5:
Macarena
The Train
Electric Slide
Cha Cha Slide
Mississippi Mud Slide
Virginia Reel
Conga
Bunny Hop
Texas Turn Around
Cotton Eyed Joe
Tootsie Roll

And to top it all off...the 3rd- 5th graders actually created their own dances! That was quite a treat.

Dances for K-2:
Walk the Lonesome Trail
Any Turkey Can Tango
Pink Panther
Down Home Barbeque
Limbo
Bunny Hop
Hokey Pokey
La Raspa (The Mexican Hat Dance)
Hand Jive
Macarena

I think the best part of our dance unit was our end of the unit "Sock Hop!" It was awesome. The students had an absolute blast! Parents...you should be commended on this as well- your children were super well behaved! The DJ told us after it was all over, "This group is the most well behaved group of kids I have ever worked with!" That is incredible. The kids really represented Davis well!

I do have to give special thanks to Mr. Romeo and his entertainment company- Contagious Entertainment. If any of you are ever in need of a DJ please give him a ring! He really went above and beyond to make this even the success that it was!! Click here to check out his web site!
Thanks again, Romeo!!

hello I am Coach Brewer in Arkansas.
I came across your site while I was looking for dances to teach my students (k-6).
I was wondering if I could 'beg, borrow and steal' your lesson plans for your dance unit?

Thank you Coach Brewer
