Now that some of our Southern California rain has passed, let’s get moving outside! Just remember to keep social distancing. Before you begin this Outside Dance-Walk, we suggest watching Pharrell Williams’ Happy music video for inspiration!

Printout the directions here and have mom or dad hold the directions as you head out, ready to create an Outside Dance-Walk. When you pass each item on the directions, perform the movement suggested. Now, can you go back and memorize the dance? Maybe Mom or Dad can carry a small speaker and provide your soundtrack!

Send us a video of your dance to stagelightathome@gmail.com or tag us on social media @stagelightarts. Have fun!

If you love Tiktok, this challenge is for you!

Search in sounds for “Be Our Guest” from Beauty and the Beast (choose the one that is 15 seconds long). Gather some dinner table accessories and set the table!

Sing along and choreograph a 15-second routine to the sound clip. Don’t forget to use your props! When you’re done, email them to stagelightathome@gmail.com or tag us on social @stagelightarts.

We can’t wait to see what everyone comes up with!

At Stagelight, we love to present storybooks to our Mini Stagelighters that inspire performing, dance, singing, music, or creative work. And there are MANY storybooks that do just that!

One of our favorites is Hilda Must Be Dancing by Karma Wilson. The book features a hippo who just CANNOT STOP dancing, no matter how disruptive it is to the rest of the jungle. But despite the other animals’ complaints, Hilda is not derailed.

If you have the book at home, great! Read it together. If you don’t have the book, below is a recorded read-aloud that includes the actual book so your Mini can see all the colorful pictures.

Once your Mini has read the story, go back and re-read the featured rhythms in the book. Have your Mini choose his or her favorite rhythm, and create that rhythm pattern using handclaps, stomps, instruments, or other toys around the house.

Send us your rhythm performances to stagelightathome@gmail.com or tag us on social media @stagelightarts. We can’t wait to see what you come up with!
