Intermediate Music and Dance Challenge #2

I received many questions about what dance has to do with music. Well where do I begin...
The simple and straight forward answer is that music and dance are intricately connected in many ways. Dance is one way to physically respond to music. Besides - for those of you who are concerned with marks - its for marks. I will be working with your phys ed teachers to give you a dance mark this year.
