Bollywood Dancing

Rachel shows you how to do some fun, Bollywood style dancing. She gives you simple instructions to follow.

The music is really fun and the actions are simple. Enjoy moving around to the music. You can use an umbrella or a scarf for the beginning of the dance. This develops children’s expressive arts and design.

Paint Throwing

Rachel uses a t-shirt to flick the lovely and vibrant coloured paints. She uses a table cloth underneath to protect the floor.
