Dear friends,
I have made a few dances for my students. You can check out my blog (on the left side there is a video clip_click on which one u want to watch) to learn the steps. The dance is easy to learn and very catchy. I hope you all will enjoy it. (I cheoreography most of the dance)
1) Rock around the clock
(practice time, clock)
**Twist**popular song in the 1950 �s
2) Macarena
(practice numbers from 1-16)
**popular dance during 1995-1996**
3) Penguin Dance
(practice left, right, go, turn around)
**cute song**
4) Fast Food Song
(practice fast food such as KFC, McDonald, Pizza Hut)
** one of my fav dance
5) Shalala la la long
(allow ss to practice party, long, up and down, move it all around)
**catchy fast song to hype up ur kids)
This is my blog...
With best wishes

Thanks ARiel.
I will listen to the songs. The children will be making the dance up themselves. I am just after the song - and your ones look like they just might be the ticket. They actually reminded me of an old favourite - rockin robin!
Thanks heaps!!!!

Dear Hieu_ngoc,
Yes, sometimes we tend to get shy when we dance.  But I am glad it is getting a little easier. I am still trying to make new dances that relate to English topics. I think it is fun to dance with kids. Plus some dances are also related to culture differences. When I taught my students "Rock around the clock" it took them back to the 50 �s. Plus, it is a good warmup for them. We don �t want sleepy heads in class right? hehe..
Anyhow, glad we were all able to connect and share ideas together. What an amazing place this is.
With Best Wishes

Dear Hieu,
Thanks for adding my blog to ur favorites. :D I am glad u like it. Yes, the Halloween party was great. There were about 60 kids...(**not including their parents--who hang around too_@.@! yikes) Believe it or not, they ate everything. (nothing left) In the end, I have to have my dinner outside. LOL...
Overall I had a wonderful time with them. I had face painting which they enjoyed...but I can �t draw on 60 faces in a short time. I only got one hand that can draw. ahaha...anyway it was great to knw u here. Keep in touch yea? |

Dear Ariel,
Once more congrats for you great job! You are an AWESOME TEACHER! I couldn �t see the videos  It doesn �t load on my pc or maybe it is my net connection, the fact is that I never can see your entire blog, I mean the pics and the vids. I don �t know what the problem is. Don �t you have them on Youtube, maybe it would be easier.????

Dear Sara,
I am glad u like it. Sure..you can put the link on the teacher �s forum. Yes, the kids are so adorable. I still have more pictures but it is in the other computer. Later I will put up some face painting pictures of the kids. LOL...
I am so happy u like the food. As u knw, kids love to eat beautiful looking food. Haha...so I try to make it look as beautiful as possible.
Dear wakebeauty
I am sorry u can �t watch the video on my blog. Probably it �s the connection. I will try to upload to youtune..but frankly speaking, Chinese govt ban youtube and facebook. So we can �t get in. However I have a program where I can get into it but it might be slow. I will try ok? Keep trying to watch the video...it seems Sara could see it....anyway good luck. :D By the way, YOu are an AWESOME and GREAT teacher too.
