Fitness Friday - Gregory After School Dance Party

It is no secret that we are making an effort to implement more fitness activities in our after school programs.   In addition to our weekly gym and sports activities, we have recently added "Fitness Friday" to all of our after school sites.   For 15-30 minutes our kids can stretch, move, reach, bend, jog, or in yesterday's Gregory Program.....Dance.

With a DJ Speaker and an iPad DJ Application "Fitness Friday" turned into a Dance Activity led by Dawn Brennan with music being played by Youth Program Supervisor/DJ John Peterson (me).   This week Dawn and I thought we could shake things up by playing group dance songs like the YMCA, The Electric Slide, The Macarena, and more.  Almost all the kids and staff in our program, were following Dawn's lead as each song played.

Because the children behaved so well, we are thinking about doing this again real soon at Gregory.  We will also be introducing this idea to the others after-school programs as early as as next week!   Our after-school programs are doing some really cool things that you won't want to miss.  If you get a chance, fill in your email address above to subscribe to have these stories, pictures, and videos emailed to you immediately after they are posted.

See You All Soon!
