"Teachers often have approached me and expressed interest in bringing creative movement into their classrooms, but they are unsure where to begin. Dance, Turn, Hop, Learn! is a step-by-step guide for integrating movement activities into existing curricula. Teachers will find that movement is a useful and accessible tool for nurturing a child's physical, emotional, intellectual and creative development. They may be surprised to know that movement classes can also give the teacher the gift of classroom management strategies, because children will learn to control their direction, speed, and energy, as well as learn to move responsibly as a group."  - Connie Bergstein Dow 

Classroom teachers as well as dance teachers of young children will enjoy the many ideas presented throughout the thirty-eight complete lesson plans.
