Parents To Cass regarding your dance idea post

[Midwestmommy]

You could look at some of the "Hall of Fame" videos posted by some of the companies that sponsor dance competitions around the country. In particular, look for vides with boys in them---maybe hip hop??

I couldn't respond to your post since it was in the coaches forum.

At the risk of showing how not cool I am for not knowing what this is called, at the gymnastics banquet, our boys were all breakdancing and doing that thing that is kind of like the mushroom where they push themselves off the ground and swing their legs around. They all seemed to think that was pretty cool. If I was trying to get them to perform, I think I'd try to work some of that in.

Have a "theme" that appeals to the boys - normally some variation of a pretend fight scene will get them hooked, have seen the boys do Star Wars, Transformers and a Nerf gun war theme in end of year displays, start with the choreographed pretend fight and then build some dance moves around it. Add some cool tumbling and the boys are happy.
