Jody's Dance Party, Family Square Dancing for all
ages.
Jody Kruskal and friends share their collection of
circle, square, and line dances, playground games,
and sidewalk songs. When the music starts, you
can’t help but dance to the joyful sounds of the
fiddle and concertina. Clear and friendly
instruction is guaranteed to get everyone on their
feet and moving to the beat.
Like the dancing masters of old, Jody draws on numerous cultures for his material. A single session might include old-time dances and singing games from New England, Scotland, Russia, Puerto Rico, Israel, and African-American traditions.
Children love the challenge of mastering these engaging dances. Teachers appreciate the way that traditional dancing fosters a spirit of cooperation and respect.
