Let's Move! Flash Workout

Several students at Taylor, including Danni participated in a flash dance during an evacuation drill. First Lady Michelle Obama organized a "Let's Move!" initiative to involve many junior high schools to participate in this flash dance to promote physical activity. Beyonce re-wrote and re-recorded one of her songs and titled it "Move Your Body". Danni learned this dance in P.E. and practiced it for several months. Danni had a great time participating in this flash dance and surprising the students and teachers with it.
For a flash dance to work, students and teachers not participating were unaware of that the flash dance was going to occur during this drill. I know that the Principal kept some teachers in the dark about this event to keep the secret until the time came. How fun to be the ones participating and not following the teacher's rules to stay put.
