Dance with Me
Germany
History and Song Notes
Dance with Me is a German folksong, known in German as “Tanz Mit Mir.”
Audio recording for listening, singing along, and learning:
You’ll notice that in the recording the movements change, and the feeling of the music changes along with them; this is an opportunity for the children to move expressively to the music in different ways. Once the children are familiar with the song, they can choose their own movements.
Piano Accompaniment:
This accompaniment is arranged to fit the words and movements “dance with me,” “sway with me,” and “stomp with me.”
