    The last time I danced to a children’s song was probably in 2006 or 2007. Mary Radamacher was my classroom artist for Very Special Arts. We worked on Music and movement. My classroom consisted of middle school Physically or Otherwise Health Impaired middle schoolers. The classroom is part of GRPS and is at Alger Middle School. She is a multi talented and incredblea artist. We had so much fun. We really got to bring our the child in all of us.

  • Lisa Cooper says:

    We have Friday night dance parties in the living room with 6 year old Audrey, 4 year old Lylah and 10 month old Vivian. Occassionally, we’ll even remember to close the blinds – much to our neighbors disappointment! We also have minivan dance parties on the way to the bus stop in the morning. This includes rolling the windows down and singing at the top of our lungs at 7:30 am. This, however, our neighbors do not appreciate as much.

  • Gina says:

    We danced to S-P-I-D-E-R-M-A-N spells Spiderman today. Kiddo loved it!

  • Robbyn Andrews says:

  • Maryann says:

    We sing “I called you on the telephone” when we have to leave a message on our grandchildren’s home phone. Silly as it sounds, we are in our 60′s and usually dance around while singing the message! Hey, we’re old and can get away with such silliness in the privacy of our own home!

  • Erica says:

    We have a dance party nearly everyday! And Laurie Berkner is at the top of the list right now! (ebourgo77@hotmail.com)

    We are always dancing, wiggling, and performing around here … and we love the Laurie Berkner Band … one of the family favorites was the moon song that we actually sung as a lullaby to our kids when they were little. We go to music class this morning and will definitely be getting a move on!!!!

  • My daghter loves to dance . We just got home from school activity night and they had DJ doing all kids of kids songs. On of their favorites is who let the dogs out. My favorite Laura song is You can not catch me. We run around the kitchen island chasing each other whenever it comes on.
