 * TOPIC:** Kinds of dance. (The boy does nothing)

** The boy does nothing  ** The song that we have chosen is The Boys does nothing by Alesha Dixon. We have chosen this song as a basis to introduce the transversal topic of the dance in school, not because it is a very famous song or because the singer is very well-known, but because it is a kind of mambo and we believe that it is a very interesting topic for the primary pupils.
 * Introduction **

Mambo is an original dance of Africa and was developed in Cuba. It became one of the most popular musical Latin-American styles in the middle of the 1780's.

The lyrics of the song THE BOY DOES NOTHING **  I got a man with two left feet And when he dances down to the beat I really think that he should know That his rhythms go go go
 * 

I got a man with two left feet And when he dances down to the beat I really think that he should know That his rhythms go go go

[Chorus] Does he wash up? Never wash up Does he clean up? No, he never cleans up Does he brush up? Never brushed up He does nothing the boy does nothing

[Repeat chorus] Hey boy how you been I got a thousand lines Where do I begin And I been here, been there Traveling I saw you at the corner My vibe kicked in And two fields I clock you Wearing tight jeans A real nice suit He was smiling like you Was just seventeen I asked him for a dance He said yes please! Take a sip of dancing juice Everybody's onto you Through the left and to the right Everybody hit the rhythm It's on tonight I'm gonna feel the heat within my soul I need a man to take control Let the melody blow you away

Does he wash up?Never wash up Does he clean up? No he never cleans up Does he brush up? Never brushed up He does nothing the boy does nothing

[Repeat chorus]

Work it out now Work it, work it out now

Do the mumbo Shake it all around now

Everybody on the floor Let me see you clap your hands

I wanna see you work I wanna see you move your body in turn I wanna see you shake your hips and learn

I wanna see you work I wanna see you move your body and turn I wanna see you shake your hips and learn

I wanna see you work it, work it, work it out now

Does he wash up? Never wash up Does he clean up? no, he never cleans up Does he brush up? Never brushed up He does nothing the boy does nothing [Repeat chorus] [|**http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Pigw0qtAl4**]  Dance as a transversal topic allows the children: to get into the world of the dance, and to know the different types of dances that belong to other cultures. To estimate that not all the movements are equal. To interact with other children in the class, to strengthen friendship and companionship. It is possible to teach this topic from the area of music, where they can listen to the instruments that are used in the composition of the music of the dance, as well as the paces... Or from the area of Physical Education, where they can learn the different types of movements that change from one dance to another, to centre on the topic of the coordination... Some of the dances that can be taught to the children are the following:
