Decades Day! Let's Dance!

Today was Decades Day, a spirit day at our school! 

Everyone participated! We had students from the 1920s, 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s.

Even teachers and the principal were ready to go!

For fun, students learned dances from a variety of decades!

We learned the Charleston, the Hand Jive, the Twist, and the Hustle. 

Enjoy!

First, The Hustle. Thank you, 1970s!

Impromptu dance party at the library, the Twist! 

Thank you, Chubby Checker and the 1960s!

Every decade has its fads. A fad is something that is widely shared with enthusiasm. It is also called a craze. A fad can come in the form of a dance, clothing, games, or even words.  

Parents, students, and readers, what are some fads that you remember? Please share with my students! 


Via Twitter, we have one dance fad from the 1970s, breakdancing!
