My all time favourite dance to do with groups including children is Old
King Glory. It is a playparty which is sung by all while it is danced. I
learned it directly from Marian Rose, an amazing dance teacher in
Vancouver, BC. Here is the link I found online to a document by Marian,
which includes Old King Glory as well as several other great dances. If you
have any questions about how to do it, you can contact me and we can talk
about it. I can say that *every single time* I do this dance with kids
someone says, "Let's do it again!"

Hello everyone,
I'm calling for a family dance in a few days with mostly
elementary-school-age children with a sprinkling of parental figures. I
have a decent program, but I was wondering if any of you have a
particularly favorite dance to try with a group like this. I'd like to add
something new to my repertoire if possible.
Thanks for any help!
All the best,
