Folk Dancing Fun At Joseph A. Edgar
This annual event allowed children to bring their parents to school, where together they participated in several folk dances.
From Rocky Point School District:Rocky Point School District’s Joseph A. Edgar Intermediate School students, family and staff recently came together to participate in a fun-filled evening of Family Folk Dancing.
This annual event allowed children to bring their parents to school, where together they participated in several folk dances led by school music teacher Craig Knapp. This multigenerational experience builds appreciation of the process of music making and community spirit.
Traditional folk dancing promotes building of community, teamwork, discipline, respect and following instructions. Folk dance has links with many other subjects, including history, literacy, art, music and physical education. The students enjoyed the event equally, learning valuable social skills as well as improving
coordination and confidence.
