Dance Around the World Interactive Slideshow grade 1-8

Dance around the whole world in 12 weeks or less! This is a google slide that contains 10 different dances from around the world to try with your students as well as a final culminating project for students in upper level grades. For each type of dance you will find the country's location and flag on a world map, a brief description of the style of dance, video links, and dance tutorials for your students to perform the dance themselves.

This is a tried and true unit that my own students all the way from grade 1-6 have loved! You will find that it covers overall expectations 2 AND 3 for dance at every grade level and prepares students to be more successful with overall expectation #1 as well. This is all you will ever need to teach dance for the year! Enjoy!
