Another group of kids have to overcome the cooties factor of dance. Article (http://www.nwfdailynews.com/article/10463) from my local newspaper.

The article in the paper includes an photo, unfortunately not included with the on-line article, showing a boy-girl couple with the boy in a long sleeve shirt. The sleeves are pulled over his hands, mitten like, to avoid as much touching as possibles. Kids! :rolleyes:
In about 3-5 years, I predict a complete reversal of the boy's mindset, whether or not he enjoys dance at that age. :mrgreen:

It is nice to see kids are being encouraged to try dance, both from the physical education and the arts viewpoint.

How cute! After rearing two boys I can so relate to the cooties thing! But like you said, it doesn't take long for a complete reversal! You gotta love an elementary school teacher that will teach ballroom dance! Bless her!

Doesn't that kid know that mere fabric is no protection at all against cooties?
