I know some PE teachers do not like to dance, but it is one of my favorite units! I have attended a zumba class at Lifetime in Lakeville. We dance to a lot of the songs our students listen to. I decided to teach one of the zumba dances to my students. They seemed to really enjoy it. We danced to the song Dynamite, and now some of my students want to perform it for the talent show.
I think it's important that we modify our lessons and try new things to spark our students' interest. Simply changing the old music to music the kids are familiar with increases their interest.
I totally agree! We now do our Paty Cake Polka to California Girls (the Kidz Bop version) and it makes it a whole new dance. Why teach them old dances that they will never use?!
