Family Dance - Outcome D (4-6)-8

Arrange for a family dance at the school. During their dance unit, each class in the school could create individual, partner, group and/or class dances to perform during the event. Whoever is organizing the event can ensure that there is a balance of different types of dances such as creative, folk, novelty, and line dances.

If there is a brave group of parents, perhaps on the Parent Advisory, they may even put a dance together and perform it at the event.

Once the dances have been performed, open the dance floor to anyone and everyone.

Teach a dance unit of line dances and other dances that may be played at a family event, such as "YMCA", the "Bird Dance", the bunny hop, or other novelty dances.

At the dance, have the students teach specific line dances to their parents.
