Publishing Info: CD with 32 page booklet / 2002 2nd. edition

Fly aboard an imaginary airplane to explore the 'exotic continent of musicality' and all the sensory-motor activities hidden in Danceland. Polka to an authentic Krakowiak, or have kids choreograph their own movements to singer Lora Dart's Native American song "Touch the Earth." Kids can croon karaoke-style to an uproarious re-make of the 60's hit, "Wild Thing," or have a Kwanzaa party to "Wisdom of Africa." Danceland is an invitation to move joyfully and creatively.

Danceland offers safe and surgent fun for kids of all abilities. The travel guide contains lots of good ideas with solid theoretical underpinnings to turn dances into games, choreographed stories, or theatrical activities. Many inexpensive prop ideas are also included. You'll be surprised and delighted by all the sensory-motor activities hidden in Danceland.
