The benefits of incorporating dance into Spanish Class
Learning a new language can sometimes feel like a daunting task. However, by incorporating music and dance into Spanish class it can often make the process much more enjoyable.
Music has a unique ability to stimulate the brain and enhance learning. When we listen to music, our brains release dopamine, a neurotransmitter associated with pleasure and reward. This not only makes learning more enjoyable but helps to improve retention. Combining music with learning a language is a powerful tool.
Plus, dance adds a physical element to the learning process. When students move their bodies, they engage multiple senses and activate different areas of the brain. This enhances their cognitive abilities and helps them to retain information more effectively. Additionally, dance promotes creativity, and self-expression, and can help build a positive classroom community. Students are more likely to take risks such as speaking a new language in front of others, if they all feel comfortable together.
Just Dance in Spanish Class
Just Dance is a popular video game that allows players to mimic the dance moves of on-screen characters. It features a wide variety of songs from different genres and languages, including Spanish.
I know many students and teachers love specifically using Spanish Just Dance videos in class. Students are comfortable following along with the Just Dance videos in Spanish. At one school I taught at the students would only dance along with the Just Dance videos. (At the first school I taught at the students preferred real people’s Zumba dances to follow along).
You do not have to have any kind of special program. You can project Just Dance videos from YouTube.
