YouTube Dances for Kids

Dancing is a great way for your kids to burn off excess energy and have fun when the weather is awful and everyone is going just a little bit stir-crazy. Get them up and moving with these YouTube dances.

We don’t have a lot of “snow days” in Texas. And the amount of snow that causes school to be cancelled here I’m sure would make folks from the upper states laugh hysterically. But whether it’s a light dusting of snow, ice, tornado warnings, torrential rains or serious blizzards where you live when kids are confined indoors they need a constructive way to get their energy out!

Not only does moving mid-day help increase concentration and focus (for everyone–not just kids!), but learning and practicing these dances will mean that our kids will be rockstars on the dance floor when it comes time for proms, weddings, Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, and Quinceaneras in the next few years.

Have FUN!

Here are some good ones. You’ll notice that some of them are more instructional than others. Some you just follow along the best you can. Remember the goal is to get moving and burn off all that pent up energy, not perfection.
