Dancing in the classroom? (Goethe Institut seminar, part 3)

This was a very interesting worrkshop by Mrs Vavatzanidis (Goethe Institut Thessaloniki). The specific programm is called LingoTech and was developed by a German teacher, Uwe Kind.
He gives "interactive" concerts - combining music, language, pantomime and gestures.
It can be very interesting and a lot of fun for all ages, especially for children and teenagers

You can find CD's for English, German and Spanish.

Great idea Theodora mou! I do something similar with my Junior A to consolidate the alphabet. I play "The Zany Zoo" (alphabet song) we sing along and dance to the music.
