Ti Ya Ya

This circle folk dance from the Ukraine is in 3/4 and requires some balance as dancers sway side to side, forward, and back while holding hands basket-weave style behind their backs.

Shalom Chaverim

This Hebrew-language round is a lovely minor tune, and works well as a farewell song.

My Paddle

This song sounds lovely when it's paired with a partner song, as Denise Bacon does, or sung in a round.  It's also great for presenting the syncopated eighth-quarter-eighth (or "syncopa") rhythm.

Though this tune originated in England, it is a classic and beloved song about America.  It can be used to prepare and present the dotted quarter paired with eighth note rhythm.
