We kicked off our Monday in the best way, dancing! For this week’s #DGFG Live Fit Club, we had special guest Skyler Rodgers, creator of Skybeat lead us through a kid friendly dance routine. Skybeat is a dance program for kids and adults that includes a competing crew and Skyler also helps students work on their hip hop skills.
Skyler is all about raising positivity and kindness through dance. This kid friendly dance routine is easy and fun. Skyler advises to let loose and that it’s okay to miss steps. Most importantly, remember to bend your knees! Skyler starts the dance routine with a warm up and then goes into a 15 minute dance routine. The dance routine is easy and fun to follow. Grab your coolest kicks and join us on the dance floor!
To keep up with Skyler and Skybeat, you can check him out on his Instagram, @Skybeatdance.

She also works closely with the Make-A-Wish Foundation and makes sure to give back with nonprofit organizations. She has worked to plan the Make-A-Wish Ball and co-host and has done amazingly at it!
The reading for this Story Hour had a great message for any young kid watching the segment. We loved The Story of Ferdinand because it shows how important it is to embrace your unique individuality. Ferdinand is a strong, yet gentle, character that young kids can look up to.
