Arrange Dance Music for Kids to Boost Their Cheerful Time
24th February
The rhythm and beat of foot-tapping music appeals to every child. Children love to sway their bodies to the music played as a part of their course curriculum. Keeping this in mind, specific dance music for kids has got underway. When kids personalized music comes to the fore, children leverage the maximum benefit from it.
The love for dance music by kids has prompted the evolution of personalized kids CDs. Hearing their names being called out many times by their favorite cartoon characters is a big boost to the kids. They feel confident and important to be recognized by their lovable characters. Be it Mickey, Minnie or Goofy, the children feel delighted to be a part of the CDs.
Start from an Early Stage
Children love to dance from the time that they can stand on their own two feet. Whenever you play a tune on the radio or TV, you can see them getting totally engrossed in the melody and swaying their bodies to and fro with it. Some children learn dancing and some improvise on their own. But dance music for kids is a must to help them become complete individuals. Kids personalized music also plays a great role in drawing the attention of the young kids and helping them dance a jig. The personalized kids CDs help the children to focus on their own names and feel excited to dance along with it.
Make Kids React to Movements
Dance music for kids inculcates a trained ear for different types of sounds and how to react to it. It fortifies a child’s artistic expression and coordinates rhythm and movement along with sound. Dancing comes easy to children especially when exposed to kids personalized music. They start mimicking the dance steps right from the very beginning. They will do exactly as you will teach them to do. In fact, you can teach them to move their body along to the songs in personalized kids CDs. Teachers and instructors lay stress on starting dancing lessons for kids right from the very early years of their childhood.
Begin With Simple Steps
It is important to start with simple movements first. Parents can teach their kids to hop, jump, skip, tap their toes and snap their fingers along to dance music for kids. It is easy for kids to simulate their own normal body movements first. Even shaking hands with children, smiling and laughing with them and stimulating their senses will help them to learn to emote while dancing. Emotion can be more cleverly portrayed by making use of kids personalized music.
A Note of Caution for Parents
When you help your children perform with dance music for kids, you should put some restraint on them. They should learn to cope with parental discretion. You have to keep an eye open and gauge what your kids are listening and dancing to. Sometimes, kids may be misguided and get into bad company. You have to regulate this and make sure that children listen to pure music and nothing more. By taking active part in their interest for music, you will also nurture a feeling of belonging with your kids and also pique their curiosity and creativity to learn new things through personalized kids CDs.
Dance and Be Merry
So, participate with your children when they play dance music for kids. Take them to live concerts and expose them to a wide variety of dance forms like hip-hop, salsa, tap and many others from a host of countries. Find out their interests and educate them accordingly. Buy kids personalized music and prepare to further the art of dancing in your kids. Your interest is bound to take your kids to the next level. It is sure to boost their cheerful time.

Dance Classes For Kids: The Gift that Keeps On Giving
24th February
When Ann Jenkins was told that her daughter Amy was having trouble interacting with the other kids in her kindergarten class, she was at a loss for words. You see, Amy had always been a little shy around other kids, but after she "warmed up" she was usually fine. Why was kindergarten class any different? Amy’s teacher told Ann that she felt Amy lacked self-confidence and that the other kids recognized this and picked on her. When Ann asked the teacher what to do, she was surprised at her response: "Enroll Amy in dance lessons".
Initially shocked that dance could help her daughter psychologically, Ann started to do some research. Here’s what she found out about the benefits of dance for children:
- Teaches kids an exciting new way to move their bodies in entertaining and creative ways.
- Introduces kids to exercise that is fun to do, early in life, promoting a life-long commitment to fitness.
- Promotes self-discipline.
- Improves self-esteem and builds self-confidence.
- Improves flexibility, coordination and memory.
- Builds strength and stamina.
- Gives children a sense of grace.
- Helps children succeed in other sports and in the classroom.

question for anyone wjo knows how to dance salsa?
24th February
i started last night but am also finding it hard to switch moves in time with the guy like going from basica cuban to rumba i always miss the first move any tips?
My guess is that you are thinking too hard. As a girl, your job is much easier because all you have to do is follow the man. Relax, Listen to the beat. Watch the man’s eyes (salsa is sultry after all). The clue is in his hands and that is where he leads from. Do not be so hard on yourself – it was your first night! After about 6 weeks you will be able to look back at this question and be astounded at how far you have come!
All the best
I want to learn to SALSA dance, but is this lame?
24th February
I can’t find anyone who is interested in going. I don’t know how to salsa. There’s this one club that has a Salsa night I think every other week. They start the party at 10, and they give free salsa lessons at 9. I don’t have anyone to go with, so I’d have to go by myself. Is it lame to go to the lessons or to go to the real thing at 10 o’clock alone?
Honest answers or suggestions please. Thanks to all.
If it’s something you want to do, then go for it! Who cares what other people think? My motto is, if it’s not illegal and doesn’t hurt anyone, then do what you want to do; you only get one chance at life so you might as well enjoy it.
You’ll have fun, get fit in a different way, learn something new at no cost and make new friends. Why hesitate?

“Casino style” Salsa dancing — Chinese man with Cuban woman
23rd February
I can’t even remember where I first saw this clip, but it’s from a Cuban television show called “Para Bailar Casino.” This particular style of Salsa dancing had usually been unique to Cuba and Miami, but is starting to spread slowly to wherever Salsa dancing happens around the world. So, it’s still fairly rare to see a Chinese guy (or any non-Cuban) who is this skilled at casino style Salsa. He has plenty of moves but, more importantly, he captures the fun spirit of the dance. The crowd obviously responds well, as you see them stand up and cheer!
In the video clip, there is a caption saying the name of the Chinese man is “You Fei Huo,” but apparently his real name is Yaofei Huo. For us English speakers, he goes by “David” Huo. He teaches in Beijing, China at a place called Casa De David, and his website is:
http://www.huoyaofei.com/english/index.asp
(For more information on him, click the link on that webpage that says “Team”)
I wish I knew the name of the female dancer but, unfortunately, I don’t. 
The song to which they are dancing is called “Esto Te Pone La Cabeza Mala” by Los Van Van.
