It is important to remember that the emphasis should be on enjoyment in the dance and on full involvement by the children rather than mechanically concentrating on the movements involved in the dance.

Music should be carefully selected to allow children to enjoy lively rhythms at a pace which is appropriate for them to perform the dance.

A good guide is that at each class level children should learn to dance at least one folk dance from Ireland and one folk dance from another country

The table below shows a summary of folk dances listed in the primary school curriculum

The approaches and methodologies for PE, outlined in the PE 'Teacher Guidelines' on pages 42 -100 are an excellent reference for teachers in organising folk dance lessons.

Outline of a Westphalian folk dance 'Come to Me' for first and second Class

Outline of an Irish folk dance 'An Damhsa Mór' for first and second or indeed third and fourth class

Outline of an Irish folk dance, 'The Haymakers Jig' for fifth and sixth class

In addition the PSSI lessons on Dance for all class levels are an excellent resource for teachers and outline a comprehensive programme of work specific to each class lesson incorporating a variety of approaches and methodologies across the class levels.
