Arms folded in dosidos? I don't "correct" it for three reasons:
1. I don't want to undermine the kids' model of what this dancing is all about. In other
words, I don't want the message to be "if you are doing THIS, then you are
wrong".
2. The folding of their arms keeps the kids from confusing the movement with
any number of other movements that do use hands/arms, and that's a win in my
book.
3. Unless they are doing a demo where uniformity counts for something, IT
DOESN'T MATTER! In picking my battles, this one is way, way down on the list!
As much as I dislike the folded-arms thing, I have to concede you've got
really good points here, all three.
