Other dance party ideas:
  • Fill the floor with small inflated balloons to kick and swat while dancing.
  • Turn down the lights and dance with flashlights and glow neclaces.
  • Simon Says dance party style- take turns leading the dance moves!
  • Animals can dance too- how would a grizzly bear dance?  A giraffe?  What about a snake?
  • Pull out some left-over streamers from your last birthday party and cut into 2-foot lengths for ribbon dancing.
  • Dance Obstacle Course- create a sequence of dances to be done as children move throughout your home.
    • Example:  shake your booty at the couch, hop to the doorway, do the wave, moonwalk to the kitchen table, do the monkey!
  • Remember our dance party?  Have the kids reflect on their dancing at the end of the day.  Invite them to draw pictures of your dance party to show to their parents!
