Re: Dances for really young dancers

When I call a family dance I say that it doesn’t matter if your partner stands in the same line as you (e.g. for Galopede) I tend to make things up. E.g. Line facing windows dance round the line facing the door. Vv. Turn your partner with one hand, with the other hand, with both hands. A double cast is easier than having partners separate. A sit on the floor (chair) dance where they make up movements to the music with hands alone From: Jim Thaxter jathaxter47(a)gmail.com [trad-dance-callers] Sent: 22 January 2019 06:15 To: trad-dance-callers(a)yahoogroups.com Subject: [trad-dance-callers] Dances for really young dancers   We’re talking like down to two years old, hopefully with parents. With any luck parents will hold the younger ones and mom and dad, dad and dad, mom and mom will dance together. But does anyone have any ideas for if the parents don’t engage in the dancing but just want to take pictures of their darlings? It’s for a library program, about 30 minutes. Thanks for any thoughts you might have. Jim Thaxter Columbia, MO [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
