Challenging Folk Dance in Fourth Grade!-Lucky 7 (United States)

The fourth grade has been learning a new and challenging American folk dance over the past few weeks called "Lucky 7".

Check out the instructions and video below-can YOU do this folk dance with a group of your friends?!

These fourth graders did an excellent job executing the various parts of the folk dance while keeping good time, moving fluidly and gracefully and moving in multiple directions.

Enjoy!
