We are having a lot of dance parties at my house. Here is a list of MCP favorites:
- Hokey Pokey---Little Richard version but I'd love to see an AC/DC (suggested a long time ago on a favorite radio show), ZZ Top or Justin Timerlake version. There's always hope.
- Ghostbusters
- Car Wash---Rose Royce We 'drive' around with our windshield wipers on (moving our arms like they are wind shield wipers)
- Miserlou---Dick Dale and his Del-Tones. Classic surfer music. We pretend we're on surf boards and there will be wipe outs.
- Born to Be Wild---Steppenwolf We get on our motorcycle, put on our helmets and drive around the classroom. Teachers call out "Red light" or "Green light"
- YMCA---Village People No explanation needed.
- Who Let the Dogs Out--BaHa Men We remove the chairs from the tables and the kids crawl around barking. Seriously...this is one of their favorites.
- Chicken Dance---We love this song because it's a pattern. Cluck, flap your wings, lay an egg, clap.
- Macarena---Los Del Rio We hadn't taught this one yet but we like this dance because it's a pattern.
- Walking on Sunshine---Katrina and the Wave We dance to this one because I love this song. When we hear "walking on sunshine", we raise our hands above our heads like a great big yellow sun.
- Shake It Off---Taylor Swift/KidzBop version Well, it's pretty obvious...Shake it!
- Space Jam---Quad City DJ's We pretend we are playing basketball...pretend...dribble, pass and shoot baskets.
You and your child can have fun at a dance party! Nobody is watching! Dance!
