It's the most wonderful time of the year! Here are a some activities to bring festive fun into your classes. Enjoy! Winter Movement Cards Download these fun-themed movement cards for FREE! You can laminate to make them last for years to come. These are great to include in your obstacle courses, lay them around the room for open exploration (great for parent/tot classes), or send them to your dance families so they can continue the dance fun at home! For older dancers, make it a fun choreography game! Divide your class into small groups. Have dancers randomly draw cards and place in an order. Dancers work together to create a short choreographic phrase they can share with the class. Winter Playlist I’ve put together some of my favorite winter action dances here. These are great for ages 2-6. If you approach your classes conceptually, here is a list of the songs and the concepts they explore. There are also some freeze dances on the playlist you can include in your winter lessons.
