Dance: just another move in the fight against chicken nuggets

In case you missed it, I’d like to welcome Primrose Preschools to my side bar. Emily, my bloggy friend, just sent me this write up she did on an upcoming event. It got me so excited, I am now planning elaborately choreographed routines in my head that I will force my children to perform on video so we can win $5000 and I can get a tummy tuck. I mean, so we can take family vacation. Please, do not try to take us on, we will smoke your blue suede shoes. Just sayin’.

Dance, Dance, Dance!

Dance can be a fun, easy way to introduce physical activity into your family’s daily routine.  As a provider of educational child care, Primrose Schools has recognized and is actively fighting against the childhood obesity epidemic. Your family can join in the fight- all you have to do is dance!

The Family Dance-off supports Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, a non-profit organization that raises funds for more than 170 children’s hospitals.  They take this money and distribute it to where its needed most.  When a donation is given it stays within the community, collectively they treat 17 million children annually for every illness and injury imaginable.

Families are encouraged to record and submit a 30 second video of their family dancing to promote fitness and strengthen family ties.

Participating in the Family Dance-off is easy:

1.       Record a 30-second video of your family’s best dance moves. Let loose and don’t be afraid to get a little silly!

2.       Visit The Family Dance-off site and upload your best take by March 19th.

3.       Share your video with your friends via email, Facebook, Twitter, etc.

4.       View and vote daily (you can place five votes per day) for your favorite family dance video!
