The children, parents and I have been participating in dance anywhere\u00ae for the past 3 years. I really appreciate the concepts in dance anywhere\u00ae and it is what I use to expand the possibilities in dance with my small group of children. For example, I see dance anywhere\u00ae as our opportunity to do public space dance performance &#8211; once at &#8216;Strawberry Creek Park in Berkeley and last year at the open space surrounding Justin Herman Plaza.<\/p>\n<p>Although we rehearsed it here at The Play Yard on Thursday, we took it to the streets on dance anywhere\u00ae Friday. Our figure was in a wagon with a sign attached to its back that the children lettered: &#8216;dance anywhere 12:00&#8217;. As the 3 children pulled\/pushed the wagon, they played rhythm instruments calling out; &#8220;dance anywhere 12:00.&#8221; We walked down Blake St.\/ crossed San Pablo and worked our way to the &#8220;Saw Tooth Building&#8221; on 8th st., There we did a very short symbolic dance at 12:00.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>~Denise Hingle<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theplayyard.net\/\">website<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.danceanywhere.org\/participant\/Denise\">dance anywhere\u00ae page<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>FasTracKids\u00ae <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Irapuato, Guanajuato, Mexico<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3P9WuL74eBY\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>FasTracKids encouraged their students, aged 6 months to eight years old to dress up and celebrate.
