Please click more info: People around the world celebrate the begining of may (May Day) by doing the Maypole Dance.They pick flowers and dress in white(any color is OK)and wear flowers in there hair and dance around a tall pole with long brightly colored ribbons. By skipping around the pole in opposite directions and weaveing in and out till all the ribbon is wrapped.The celebration continues with singing and eating.A fun day. In early America it was called Loyality Day.Either way it's a fun way to bring in spring.

They do this at Waldorf schools all over the world! I did the dance when I went to the school in 1st and 2nd grade. Now, i want to be a waldorf teacher! and experience the joy of such life!
