Nutcracker "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" | Music With Mr. DelGaudio | a hand ballet

[@jessfuller21]

Please make more of these!!!! Love, a kindergarten teacher whose kids are obsessed!

[@pederhalvorsen7853]

After one of the worst months of my life, this puts a huge smile on my face on my first day back at school. Mr. D., you are a national treasure.

[@mrdelgaudio]

Glad to help, Peder. Thank you for the kind words.

[@musicclasswithmissa5958]

This is so much fun, and my K-2 students are loving it -- they noticed that the movements match the music before I even mentioned that concept. Thanks!

[@biblestorieswithleslie1582]

You are so creative!!! Thank you so much for sharing with those of us who aren't so creative.

[@deannakirkham3945]

I did this with socks right off their feet and worn on their hands (teaching virtual.) They were so cute showing off their socks to each other! I made a couple modifications to the actions. One kinder had an older sibling in 5th grade that asked if I’d do ‘the kindergarten sock song’ with the 5th grade, too. I was skeptical but THEY LOVED IT! I am so grateful for your creativity and the videos you share. Thank you, so much!

[@taylorbradley2954]

What do you do with the socks??

[@deannakirkham3945]

@@taylorbradley2954 pretty much the same thing Mr. Delgaudio does, but the part where he makes his hands look like little talking puppets we come up in our cameras with fists and then make them ‘blow up’. Also at the end we do some fun wave stuff and we make the socks go up and down individually in funny ways at the end. This was very unifying and inspired peer interaction as they enjoyed each other’s socks and watched each other do this fun creation of Mr. Delgaudio’s.

[@chrysiparpara6982]

My students absolutely love it! They ask for it again and again!

[@fortepianomusicstudio4777]

Just love this! It's so fun! Using this for a piano camp where we're learning about Tchaikovsky. Thank you, Mr. DelGaudio!

[@christinemiller2441]

Thank you for sharing your ideas with us! My students love this! We always wonder how you can go so long without blinking. : )

[@UKNashDom]

Thank you for the expressive!

[@carlafletcher3739]

This has got to be my all time favorite! You are all in! Love it! 🤣

[@misselder1]

K-5 Music teacher from Michigan here. My students love every video of yours I've used in my lessons. Can't wait to try this one with them this afternoon! Keep 'em coming. Their favorites so far are Autumn is Here and Song of the Sleighbells. It's so funny when you take off on the "sleigh."

[@bethshaw817]

This is just wonderful! All my classes love doing it! Thanks so much!

[@FrkMatthi]

Is there more hand ballet videos?

[@jacquelinetouchie9218]

[@isabelsalane8241]

Thank you so much for helping me bring more amazing ideas to my elementary music classes!

Great video, I am looking forward to trying this with my K-1 classes!

[@lesliedooley8346]

Very engaging!

[@classic0987]

I miss all your songs

[@katieray485]

Fabulous, as usual. If you had a Patreon account I would support you. You've got a lot of really great stuff that I've been able to use during virtual teaching.

[@mrdelgaudio]

Happy to help!

[@BrysonDrennin6269]

I love your videos

[@ashleyaworkman]

This is so cute and funny 😆

[@rhondabryant400]

This makes me so happy! Is there a way to purchase this as a download?

[@mrdelgaudio]

Glad to hear. A quick google search will give you some options on how to download KZbin videos for free.

[@KatieColeman514]

Awesome! Thanks for redoing this with the cute background! Can't wait to do this with my students again this year!

[@adkisol]

Wonderful! And you are rocking the Buffalo plaid shirt. Plaid is my favorite color. 😉 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@mrdelgaudio]

I've been rocking the jean jacket and buffalo plaid since middle school ;)

[@leaguecityelementarymusic9621]

Yay! I was just wondering if you had some Holiday songs!

[@leaguecityelementarymusic9621]

Just realized it's a remake of your old one! Even more love for the quality! Thank you!

[@mrdelgaudio]

Thank you! Yeah, some of my older ones need updates with a nicer background.

[@mirievans6231]

Love it! And so will my PreK's! Can't wait to share! Thank you so much!!!!

[@melanyyamilesalgado805]

Hello I have a music teacher who works at Cherry Hill and I was thinking is that your friend because he show us your video???

[@rebeccacauthen1]

Your videos are fantastic! Thank you for all your hard work. My first graders say that you are a very attractive man :-)

[@MrsBrown-fg9yq]

I love this! How do you keep your background from glitching out while you're doing your movements?

[@mrdelgaudio]

I've noticed that darker background images tend to look better. Also, I can't have too much light on my green screen or else you notice the wrinkles.

[@Beccayoureckamylife]

are you single? :) love the videos, from one elementary music teacher to another!

[@olgazhicayzhicay3067]

I am in the third grade class Mamaroneck Avenue school
