The positive power of music on happiness is undeniable, couple that with moving your body and dancing, makes it an unbeatable feel good tool. There are many examples of the benefits online e.g. onedanceuk.org calmmoment.com Turning the music up and dancing around can make everyone happy, especially if you start it, the children will naturally follow and enjoy the freedom of movement.
