One of our Lower Elementary students’ favorite way to explore music is through dance! Folk dancing is a multi-sensory activity that improves social skills, coordination, cooperation, listening skills and rhythm. Thankfully, we’ve found some fun ways to keep dancing while still social distancing. Usually, the children are having too much fun to realize that we are also reviewing musical concepts that we’ve discussed in class such as note durations (whole notes, half notes, eighth notes and quarter notes), rests, repeats, ostinatos, canons, and much more!

E3 Students learned a folk dance and used scarves to maintain social distancing.
