Second Grade Family Folk Dances
On January 14th, 2025, Boone Meadow Elementary’s second grade students and their families came together for a family folk dance. Under the direction of Will Doublestein, parents and siblings learned the following dances from The New England Dancing Masters that students had been working on in class:
1) Old Brass Wagon
2) La Bastringue
3) The Chimes of Dunkirk
4) Galopede
5) Alabama Gal
6) Rural Felicity
7) Sashay the Donut
To better manage the space, families separated into two groups, and you can find videos of each group’s folk dance below.
