Pattycake polka is very beat-specific.  Le Brandy has a bit where you're 
counting to the music ("Un, deux, trois, poussez!").  Hard to know what 
they're fishing for with the phrase "throw in some music education..." 
Maybe mentioning how jigs feel different from reels...  Something like 
The Flying Scotsman would certainly get that point across, especially if 
it followed something 2-ish like Galopede.
