Amanda Fausett replied to Stephanie Campbell's discussion Final projects in Using Music and Dance as a Primary Source - ASDSA 2013
"I just ran into a snag. I did my final project on my ipad through Pages and am having troubles attaching the file to this posting. When I go to choose the file it's only allowing me to send pictures/videos. Any suggestions?

"Who doesn't love this era?!?! We've got just about everything anyone could want! Sassy twisting, fun pony bopping, potatoe mashing, and the oh so super Swing! One of the great things about this era is that it IS so individual and simple that I can…"

"I very well could be mixing up the Jefferson and Quadrille between this posting and the last, but like I wrote in my last reply, I really like the square dancing one. I can teach my young students math through that dance (teen numbers, halves, L/R).…"

"Keeping in mind that I teach Kindergarten who may or may not know how to count...I think this would be an EXCELLENT lesson to tie into my math curriculum! When dancing the Jefferson, dancers need to be able to count to 16 twice, then HALF of 16…"
