Watch video: ‘I wanna dance with somebody’ RAF Digby nursery children show off their moves

Families at RAF Digby have sent in videos of their children showing off their fantastic dance moves to the Friends of Maple Leaf Day Care nursery Facebook group.

It was an effort to keep active and keep in touch with their friends during this period of social distancing.

Michelle Randle, former manager of Maple Leaf put out the request on the closed Facebook group for videos of all the children’s best dance moves, and the clips soon came flooding in.

Her son Adam edited them all together to Whitney Houston’s ‘I Wanna Dance With Somebody’ and the reponse from the community was overwhelmingly positive.

Michelle said: “The children certainly did a great job of boosting morale during these stressful times.

“This has really lifted everyone’s spirits during this difficult time. It has also allowed the children to see their friends. A group of us are posting daily on a closed Facebook group giving children small tasks, sending messages. Parents can then send in videos and photos of the children. The community are thrilled to have something to keep the children occupied.

“This is just one of the many fun activities the children have been up to at home; they’ve also played bingo, shared photos of what they’ve been doing with their families, and been read bedtime stories by the familiar faces from the nursery.”
