Dance Off

I recieved an interesting article several months ago from my friend at Primrose schools. She has an awesome idea to avoid child obesity. Here is an article regarding some physical activities... Of course we live to far away from her area to sign up now, but I fould it interesting that we could coordinate something in our area!!

Primrose Child Care Family Dance-Off Event!

Dance can be a fun, easy way to introduce physical activity into your family's daily routine. As a provider of childhood education, Primrose Schools (which has child care centers nationwide) has recognized the epidemic of childhood obesity and is actively fighting against it.

The Family Dance-off supports Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, a non-profit organization that raises funds for more than 170 children's hospitals, which collectively treat 17 million children annually for every illness and injury imaginable.

Families are encouraged to record and submit a 30 second video of their dancing families 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. Have fun with it!

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!
