Family Folk Dance

In September we had a folk music event!

We ate lots of autumn themed (nut-free) snacks/drinks, we had a band come play traditional folk music for us, and we had a caller call some family-friendly folk dances! It was super fun and easy! (Picture like a square dance, with big circles, making arches, weaving under, stuff like that!)

This was a great way to celebrate fall, kick off the new semester, and build community with the other students and teachers!

The folk music tradition is very different from classical music, but a lot of classical music stems from (or draws inspiration from) folk music! Also, an event like this can help students feel the connection between sound and movement!
