The individual dances also focus on a specific skill set often used in percussion and are also subtitled with a more modern style of dance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first movement, Allemande (The Robot) is a stately German dance in 4\/4 and focuses on the popular rudiment, the paradiddle. Sarabande (The Wave), the second movement, is a slow Spanish dance in 3\/4 that explores the whole tone and chromatic scales. The third movement Gigue (The Twist), is a lively English dance in 6\/8 time that breaks down expanding and contracting intervals. The last movement, Boureé (Thumbs Up Shimmy), is a lighthearted dance in 4\/4 time and explores the full range of the keyboard instruments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf available, dads should be encouraged to participate in the performance by dancing along to the music and using the subtitles of each movement as inspiration for their dance moves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDad Dances comes as a professionally printed and bound score and includes individual parts in PDF format for printing or for tablet viewing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of players: 12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDifficulty: Intermediate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstrumentation:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 1: Glockenspiel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 2: Xylophone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 3: Chimes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 4: Vibraphone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 5: Marimba (4.3 octave)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 6: 3 timpani\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 7: Tambourine, brake drum, ratchet, mark tree\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 8: 4 concert toms, bongos, 2 woodblocks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 9: Temple blocks, castanets, 2 cowbells, ride cymbal \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 10: Snare drum, hi-hat, sleigh bells, finger cymbals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 11: Agogo bells, concert bass drum, congas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\nPlayer 12: Triangle, claves, vibraslap, maracas, slapstick\r\n\r\n","brand":"Steve Weiss Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43826923405366,"sku":"TSPCE21-009","price":38.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/3055\/1350\/files\/walker-dad-dances-sp-b-v-c-x-m-3t-p.jpg?v=1773508058","url":"https:\/\/www.steveweissmusic.com\/products\/walker-dad-dances","provider":"Steve Weiss Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
