"Music is the universal language of mankind." - H.B. Longfellow

Dancing on Ice

Music has a powerful effect on each of us; it can cause one to reflect, to remember, to sing, and to sway. Certain songs will always evoke specific memories of a special time or of a person long gone. Youngsters, however, usually find music makes them move. What can be better than putting on a song and joining the little ones as they dance around the room laughing? I came across a couple of CDs of lively children's tunes today, so I took them to a house down the street. I know those active kids will enjoy creating crazy dance moves to entertain their parents! Whether you are in sneakers, skates, or your slippers, put the music on so the whole family can dance together.
