Just because we'll be closed this Thursday - Saturday, doesn't mean you have to stop dancing! I found some wonderfully silly Thanksgiving dances (based on some favorite foods!) courtesy of The Home Teacher:
MASHED POTATOES: This dance exercises the upper body! Fist closeed, arms extended out in from & alternating up and down.
TURKEY: Flap wings and gobble like a turkey while running (carefully!) in the yard! This is an aerobics exercise
APPLE PIE: Dancers roll like a ball (apple) towards the center of the floor and sit together closely like apples in a pie. Rolling works on your flexibility and body management.
CRANBERRIES: Stomp on the floor to mash and puree the (imaginary) cranberries!
GREEN BEANS: Walk around on your tip toes, arms extended upwards, and do your best to be long and tall! This dance helps flexibility, balance, and body awareness.
THANKSGIVING: Walk around and shake hands, and give each of your family members a compliment! This is not really a dance, but it is a nice way to tell your family what you are thankful for about each of them!
