Disco Dance Paint Party!

I know... Does anything sound more fun than this!? Trust me, there isn't!! To end our Traditional Songs month, we held a disco dance party and decided to paint to the music too!
We al know dancing and painting is fun, but heres why this was also educational:

-Drawing and painting develops visual-spatial skills (hand-eye coordination).
-When kids are encouraged to express themselves and take risks in creating art, they develop a sense of innovation that will be important in their adult lives. 
-They learned a little about history and got to experience the sound of music from 40 years ago! 
-Art builds confidence as there is no correct way to express oneself. 
-Both music and painting develop the left hemisphere of the brain. 
-Music and art build community. It was so great to see the children grouping together to share joy! 


Our little creative minds are bursting at the seams! 

Ms. Ginny is a dance instructor and couldn't miss the party! 

Disco line!
