Ipod Shuffle Theme

Thank you to a Free Dance Recital Ideas reader who suggested an Ipod Shuffle theme! An Ipod Shuffle theme is a great idea, because you can use any songs that you want to.

Each scene of your recital could be "a playlist." Arrange your playlists by different genres of music, such as rock, pop, ballads, rap, country, showtunes, and easy listening. Download a list of the most popular music for the current year or last year, and pick and choose your favorites. If you get stumped on music for your smaller dancers, search on iTunes for children's versions of the popular songs, such as Kids Bop. Current music from children's movies and TV programs can also be used.

For the opening number of the show, try dancing to Don't Stop The Music by Rihanna and have dancers use iPods for props. Make the cover of the programs to look like an ipod and print them in different bright colors in which iPods are made.

If I were picking popular songs of 2008-2009 to choreograph to for an Ipod theme recital, I would instantly think of Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It) by Beyonce and Bleeding Love by Leona Lewis. Please write a comment and tell me what popular songs you would suggest for an iPod Shuffle theme!!

Musical Inspirations Of The Day

Going Green if a popular theme right now, and if you are looking for music about Going Green for your dance recital or classroom, here is a suggestion. I have discovered the children's album called Let's Go Green. It can be sampled on iTunes. The whole album sounds like fun, but check out the songs Let's Go Green, Recycle It, Solar Shuffle, and Clean Up The Planet Game.

Also check out the children's album Nature Notes For Little Folks by Maurren Conlin. There is a song on this CD also entitled Let's Go Green. This song has an interesting beat and has a tribal sound to it. It would be fun for younger dancers or a beginning hip hop class.

If you are dancing about Going Green in your dance recital this year, please tell me about it!!!!!
