One of the fun things about teaching Spanish is sharing the music and culture from Spanish-speaking countries. You can use music and dance as brain breaks, rewards, or a special end-of-the-week ritual, as in baile viernes.
For those of you teaching online, dance videos would be a fun assignment and break for kids who are sitting in front of a computer all dong, with distance learning. Try some of these to shake up the routine!
Shocker it involves Disney magic! I love to dance and so do both of my children. Zumba is one of the things I miss about being able to go to the gym. Fortunately, YouTube exists and plenty of instructors have shared their routines. But if you're familiar with Zumba, not all the music or moves are what you would call family friendly.
These Disney Zumba dances will provide a solid 30 minutes of cardio for the whole family. Oh and a lot of smiles too. You can't help but smile when you're dancing and singing along with You're Welcome from Moana.
You may have seen a STRONG by Zumba studio in your area, but did you know the boutique studio also has a YouTube channel where it posts free 30-minute sessions? These HIIT workouts combine all the fun of dance with intense body-weight moves to really work your muscles. The channel also offers videos in a variety of languages (like Spanish, German, Indonesian, French and Korean) if you want to simultaneously work on your language skills.
You'll need an Amazon Prime account in order to have access to this hour-long Zumba workout, however it's led by none other than Beto Pérez, the founder/creator of Zumba. (Yep, you can work out with the Columbian dance legend, no trip to Florida required.) There are multiple videos on Amazon led by Pérez, including additional 30- and 60-minute classes and shorter sessions targeting specific areas of the body.
This might just be the ultimate Zumba workout to try at home. Imagine attending a 70-minute live concert starring Beto Pérez, where he teaches you 16 routines featuring the music and dance styles of countries from all over the world. Sounds like a blast, no? With all of the excitement and energy of the concert, you won't even feel those obliques working. (Well, not until tomorrow.)
