Dance and Zumba Videos in Spanish for Kids to Adults
Inside: A list of dance and Zumba videos in Spanish for kids, teens, and adults.
One of the fun things about teaching Spanish is sharing the music and culture from Spanish-speaking countries. You can use music and dance as brain breaks, rewards, or a special end-of-the-week ritual, as in baile viernes.
The positive benefits of dance are well-documented, too. According to the Culture Owl,
“Recent studies on the neurological effects of dance have found evidence of links between the brain’s reward centers and its sensory and motor circuits, both of which are activated when attempting to coordinate movements with the beat of a particular song. Strengthening these neural connections results in improved memory…”
In this post I’ve collected dance and zumba videos for young kids to adults, all in Spanish. If you plan to use these in your classroom, of course be sure to preview and make sure they are school-friendly for your context.
For those of you teaching online, dance videos would be a fun assignment and break for kids who are sitting in front of a computer all dong, with distance learning. Try some of these to shake up the routine!
