Ballroom Dancing!

Ms. Danielle demonstrates the Foxtrot.

This week, the ladies and gentlemen of Class 4-309 started the Dancing Classrooms program.  For ten weeks, we will be learning a variety of ballroom dances taught by a professional dancer (Ms. Danielle).  This week we practiced the dance frame and escort position and learned our first two dances: the Merengue and the Foxtrot.  At the end of our twenty lessons, the fourth graders of P.S. 58 will host a culminating performance, tentatively scheduled for December 6.  Then, six boys and six girls from P.S. 58 will compete in the Colors of the Rainbow Team Match against ballroom dancing teams from other schools in New York City.  For more information about the program, you can visit www.dancingclassrooms.com or watch the documentary Mad Hot Ballroom.
