For music today, Mr Dixon has been teaching the children a line dance entitled “Alabama Gal”. Originally an Alabama Folk Song, “Alabama Gal” is sung while dancing in a Virginia Reel style. This folk dance originates in Scotland, but came over to America to become a English country dance. The dance was most popular from 1830 to 1890. This dance is when two lines of couples line up and face each other.
The children thoroughly enjoyed this style of dance as you can see from the pictures below. Why not try it yourself this Christmas?
