Dance Around the World - take 2

The second installment of Dance Around the World in Coos County began this week - this time at Madison Elementary! The musicians and I set up the sound equipment and before we knew it, more than thirty K-3 students were seated along the wall of the gymnasium. Silent. Watching. Waiting. I didn't even hear them come in! 
We started with Carnavalito, a line dance from Bolivia. Too few teachers and parents were among the dancers, but the kids caught right on! We learned Sasha next - and I see that we'll need to review the whole process of "how" to find the next partner in this couple mixer dance. From there, we learned Hashual, a circle dance from Israel. The kids had fun taking turns being the fox in the middle of the cirlce and choosing the next fox to take their place. Lastly, we learned Le Brandy, a longways French Canadian set dance. Our hour together flew by!
