Let's Dance!

Topics:

Physical Activity Participation,  Teamwork

Our school provides music during passing periods so that all students can participate in dance clubs. Students and teachers are allowed to choose songs. Also, sometimes themes are used to pick songs, like black history months, Frozen, Independence Day, or College anthems. Students also organized two dances and participated in a month of Dance related activities in Girls PE. Lastly, our school received a Wii to use in PE class and we use this to play Just Dance during stations to learn more dance moves.

How did you accomplish your goals?

Our PE Leadership, school admin, students, parents, and teachers all worked together to provide all the different dance opportunities at SJ.

What improvements have you seen at your school?

Students get less tardies and get to class on time with music as the bells between classes. Students enjoy the music and is raises spirits and activity levels. In class, when we play Just Dance, all students get to pick their particular style and songs of dance so that all students can get dancing to songs they enjoy.
