Seven Jumps - 1st Grade Music

One aspect of the music curriculum in 1st Grade is structured dancing.

Seven Jumps is a folk dance from Denmark. It presents a sequence of movements that are added on one by one through the seven actions. Each action is held for the duration of the sustained note which varies with each repetition.

 This is a great dance for emphasizing listening skills, balance, and body part identification as well as direction and learning left from right.  Enjoy the videos below!
