My Top 10 + 10 + 8 Toddler Dance Time!

        These upbeat dance tunes are both tolerable for parents and kids. Little ones should have a "dance time'' everyday. They need lively tunes that they can expend energy too; but as many parents know, music made specifically for little children can get a bit annoying at times for adults. So, here's my (sort of) short play list for those of you looking for relief... All of these recommendations come with choreography for those children who really LOVE to dance! Hopefully you'll find something tolerable among the suggested content...(sigh)
