With the help of some adorable animated characters you will learn how to do the dance steps to our popular children’s dance song, “Dancing Robots”.
“Dancing Robots” is a great brain breaks action, dance song to make it easy and fun to take a quick energy break. When children take a moment to sing, dance and move then they can return to their academics feeling happy, energized and renewed. Schools are realizing the significant values of brain breaks in the classroom. This song is also great for indoor recess, group activities, circle time, morning meeting and physical education. This is a great children’s dance song for preschool, kindergarten and lower elementary.

DIRECTIONS:
This is a dance where you imitate a dancing robot. It is performed with small jerks to give the impression of motors starting and stopping. Keep your posture stiff at all times. When you are directed to stop, stay as motionless as possible. During the malfunction imitate a ‘broken robot’, slowly bend at your waist and then powering up again. The dance concludes with the ‘broken robot’. Using exaggerated jerking motions and a look of confusion on your face as you drop towards the ground give the impression that the robot has completely ceased to function.
LYRICS:
Robot: “Tummy in, shoulders back”
Refrain:
Robots stand still. We’ll stand up straight not moving.
We’ll move then stop. It’s hard to bend that steel.
We’re stiff and straight with every little motion.
We’re just machines but we certainly look real.
Raise your right hand up a little bit…stop, A little more…stop, A little more…stop
Now lower that hand down a little bit…stop, A little more…stop, A little more…stop
Raise your left hand up a little bit…stop, A little more…stop, A little more…stop
Now lower that hand down a little bit…stop, A little more…stop, A little more…stop
I’m a robot, dancing robot, dancing with my hands. (2X)
Now turn your head to the right a little bit…stop, A little more…stop, A little more…stop
Now turn your head back just a little bit…stop, A little more…stop, A little more…stop
Now turn your head to the left a little bit…stop, A little more…stop, A little more…stop
Now turn your head back just a little bit…stop, A little more…stop, A little more…stop
I’m a robot, dancing robot, dancing with my head and arms. (2X)
Robot: “Stop dancing, robot malfunction, waste slowly bending, dropping down to a grinding halt. Power up, power up, power up. Power up to standing up straight.” 1,2,3,4
Repeat Refrain
Raise your right leg up a little bit…stop, A little more…stop, A little more …stop
Now lower that leg down a little bit …stop, A little more…stop, A little more …stop
Raise your left leg up a little bit…stop, A little more…stop, A little more …stop
Now lower that leg down a little bit …stop, A little more…stop, A little more …stop
I’m a robot, dancing robot, moving all around. (5X)
Robot: “Break down, Robot tired, must take rest. See you later.”
