⭐️ WHY DANCE IN SPANISH CLASS?

If you have active classes that need movement and brain breaks in Spanish, dance videos are perfect. It can start class on Friday as a weekly bell ringer event known as baile viernes, or be used as a much-needed movement break any day of the week. It is especially important if you teach block schedules in Spanish class. Dance brain breaks help build a positive classroom community as well.

⭐️ HOW DO YOU DO BAILE VIERNES 2025?

How do you get high schoolers to dance in class you ask? First and foremost as the teacher sets the example. You can make a fool of yourself learning the dances with them. Sometimes we might try a song and partway through the students decide they are over it. This is fine & usually, because it is too hard, so you can quickly change to their favorite by request. I have had classes that were never as into dancing, which is fine. Finally, I have found it is a great way to get those Friday wiggles out at the beginning of class. This is especially important on game days and before long weekends.

These are the original Spanish class dance brain breaks with 5 star reviews

• ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We’re required to have a certain number of minutes of physical activity anyway, so this lets us meet that requirement with something that’s actually relevant to my class. – Julie Ann W
• ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I tried this (baile viernes) with my classes today. They loved it! This is a clever idea! – Aryn
• ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My kids LOVED this! Of course some kids were too shy to try, but most enjoyed it. I encourage the shy ones who don’t get up and dance to just follow along with arm movements in their chairs. Some kids chose that option and some just watched and smiled at the energy in the class. I also pointed out the lyrics that appear in the bottom of the video and suggested that the shy ones can just read the lyrics as the music plays for extra language input. Great resource! I totally recommend this for any Spanish class. – Ana L
• ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is a great set of songs. I’m so excited to use them with my kids. – Carrie C
