Folk dances are special dances that people have passed down for generations all around the world. When we learn them, we get to:
✨ Travel the world without leaving the room! Each dance comes from a different place and tells us a little about the people who live there.
✨ Work together as a team! Many folk dances are done in circles or lines, so everyone has an important part.
✨ Move to the music! Dancing helps us stay active, build coordination, and have fun with rhythm.
✨ Celebrate traditions! Folk dances show us how people celebrate, tell stories, and share joy.
Folk dancing isn’t just about steps—it’s about connecting with each other and the world! 🌎❤️
