Silly Dance Contest – Kids Yoga Song of the Week

A record player and music notes on a blue background with text: Kids Yoga Song of the Week

You’re probably aware of the classic freeze dance game, in which everyone dances to the music and then freezes in a yoga pose when the music stops.

Having a playlist of songs like the Silly Dance Contest is very handy for those days when you show up for a kids yoga class and everyone is full of energy.

This has happened to me a few time, like the class I taught on Valentine’s Day where the kids had lots of sweets and just didn’t want to sit down and focus. I changed my lesson plan on the spot and we did a whole class of fun songs.

Eventually I was able to bring the energy down to a sitting meditation with movements at the end of class, but it took a lot songs like this one to get there.

Silly Dance Contest

In any class, this song by Jim Gill makes a great warm up at the beginning of class or playfulness at the end. Freeze dance with your kids in all these fun ways:
