The Flower Dance

This dance demonstrates a flower growing from a seed (student), then joining other flowers in a bouquet (all other students), celebrating life with their gardener (teacher, guardian, etc.)...

 

Start as "seeds" (child's pose)

the gardener(s) taps on the seed's back, sprinkling water on the seeds

the seeds begin to grow, standing up slowly

spin as you grow tall

all the way to your tippy toes

spin on your tippy toes like a ballerina 

pull sunlight down, in towards your stomach

bloom (do a C jump or a star jump)

blow in the wind (move side to side, reaching)

everyones hands come together in the center (the flower(s) and the gardener(s))

we count all together "1, 2, 3.. BLOOM"

on "bloom" everyone reaches their hands up to the sky.
