While that looks like a fun dance I don't think it is really appropriate for kids ages 4-10. You should check out the books from the New England Dancing Masters. I have Chimes of Dunkirk, Sashay the Donut and Listen to the Mockingbird. These have several good dances for kids. Here are some that I use at an annual dance I call at our local library. The event is called the Fairy Tale Ball and I often feel like I'm standing in a sea of knee-high princesses. The Blobs Boston Tea Party Chimes of Dunkirk Circassian Circle - no-swing, non-mixer Cumberland Reel Duckpins The Duke of York Galopede Heel and Toe Polka Promenade/Reel - longways, non-mixer Jacob's Potato Margate Hoy Over The Top Sasha Snake Traffic Jam Some are better than others depending on the age of the kids. I like to have some suitable for slightly older kids in the list. I do a version of Circassian Circle with no swings and no mixing. The kids (and some parents) get in a circle in groups. Sometimes they are pairs, sometimes it is an adult with 3 or 4 kids. All go into the center and back twice. Then have different groups go in in A2, boys, girls, talls/smalls, those wearing red, etc. Then the pairs/groups two-hand turn or circle and then everyone promenades around the big circle. It can be hard to get very small kids to hold hands in a circle so I don't usually worry about trying to get them to do that.
