Sean, I wish you were my PE teacher when I was a kid. I love ballroom dancing! Interesting question. How would you have to phrase a question like this to your kids to get them to answer it? That's the part I always have a hard time with.
I would basically ask it the way it is. I make a strong push about personal fitness to my students. My kids know that increased heart rate, sweat and heavy breathing are great signs of exercise. While only some will draw the conclusion that dance is exercise on their own. They will all understand after we talk about it. Perhaps - How can dancing make us healthy?
I love the fact that little kids are doing ballroom!
ReplyDeleteRefine this down:
What is a dance?
How can a dance show emotions?
Can dancing enhance your life physically?
