I love getting together with my family for Thanksgiving. The turkey, the stuffing, and the dancing! Yes, I know that dancing might not seem as traditional as cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie but it is! As a child, I used to wake up early and put on the Thanksgiving day parade and watch the first hour without moving from my seat (usually 3 feet from the little TV in the kitchen so my mom and I could watch it together.) The first hour would feature all the new Broadway shows and rain or shine the performers would be singing and dancing their hearts out. And don't forget the Rockettes! It was fantastic!
I now watch the parade with my daughter and my mom. It is a dance experience we can share together.
So, if you are by a TV at 9:00am Thanksgiving Day, turn it on and share with a child the magic of Broadway! (Of course, children of all ages are welcome!) And encourage your students' parents to check it out as well!
Have fun planning your own special Thanksgiving dance traditions with the children in your life!
Sincerely,
Stacey
I still wake up early on Thanksgiving to watch the parade! I really look forward to it! :)
