Elephants Can't Dance - But You Can - Challenge!!
Your challenge this week is to watch the different types of popular dances from the past, pick your favorite one, and learn how to do it.  After you learn how to do the dance, make a video of you dancing to share with the class on Friday's zoom.  Please send to me on Thursday evening if you want me to share it with the class. You can do the dance alone or with others, your choice.  For each dance, I have put up a "how to" video and then another to show you what it looks like when others are doing that dance style.  Have fun!!
