"Old School" VS "New School" - "Father VS Son"

This is a classic battle of Father Versus Son. Father is 43 Son is 17(with hat).

My Dad Square Dances, I don't think I'll be posting a video on You Tube of that :-)

SPARC Active Movement - part 6: Music and Dance

What makes music and dance important?
From birth children really respond to music and movement. For example we use it to calm a baby who is tired or upset, or we can use it to energise children at a party.

Music and dance is a great medium for moving and learning because most children love music and dance. It helps to build an awareness of emotions and is a great form of physical and emotional expression.

For young children music and singing are great for language development and speech and memory skills because of the repetition. We know that children's brains develop very fast in early childhood and music and movement helps make connections between different parts of the brain.

How does music and dance help with physical activity and movement?
