Singing and dancing makes us feel good inside. When we sing and dance, we let out what's inside of us. Each of us has a special voice and a special way of moving our bodies.
Why do we sing and dance?
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS Do you like to sing or dance? What do you like to sing best? Where do you like to dance? Do you have a favourite song? A favourite singer? How do you feel when you are dancing? Do you like dancing on your own or with a friend? Do you have special clothes for dancing?
