TA Dance Party

Staff Soul Train

The BMS Staff wanted to show the students what "Soul" is all about. So we created our very own Soul Train. Enjoy the smooth moves as we teach our students what dancing is all about.

Soul Train - Episode 7 - Media Center, PE, A Hall(back)

Here it is, the final episode in the School Wide Soul Train Dance Off. Great job to everyone who was cool enough to get out there and dance. I know it takes some courage and many of you were able to get out there and just have fun.

Soul Train - Episode 2 - B Hall - 6th Grade

Here is the latest episode. I had to do some precision trimming of video footage to get everyone in the video. To post online I have to keep it at or under 10 minutes and under a certain file size. So, I was not able to go back and slow down the sweet dance moves like in episode 1. However, you who were great dancers have not been forgotten. I will be creating a Best Of video and that is where the special effects and the showcasing of your moves will be displayed. Sit back, enjoy, and here is schedule for next week.

Here is the YouTube version, but this is one is not as polished as they muted most of my audio as copyright so it is a little choppy and I was not able to smooth everything out as the Vimeo version posted above. Anyways, here it is.
