Today's featured music artist for a Living Room Dance Party is - YOU!
It doesn't matter if you are a professional, amateur or dabbler, watching you give a private performance in your own home is a thrill and a half for your kids, especially if there is moving and grooving involved. Play a concerto, sing along to the radio, play the rockingest Twinkle your flute from high school has ever seen, it's all a fantastic learning and bonding experience for your family! My husband and I regularly jam out with him accompanying my fiddle on Sunday evenings - the kids sing, dance and spin, and all we play are hymns from church. The content isn't as important as the context.
I'm knee-deep in practicing today because tomorrow I jet off for some shows in Atlanta with the amazing Celtic band, the Border Collies.
I was lucky enough to be a Collie for a few years but the husband's work took us away from my beloved South, and until the universe lets me return, I get to fill in when they are missing a fiddler now and then - and this weekend is sure to be an absolute feast for my fiddling appetite!!

EXCELLENT ideas & advice. I remember playing all kinds of marches on the piano as my little ones marched around & around the house playing their rhythms instruments. Your Dance Party idea sounds like tons of fun.
Thanks for sharing!
Two things:
1. Why are there sheep iin the picture of the Border Collies?
2. When do I get my poster?
