Spring Songs

What do you think of when you hear the word “Spring”?  For me, I think of warmth, sunshine, flowers blooming and Easter.  I was recently approached by a dance teacher who was in need of a few final spring themed songs for her recital dances.  She had exhausted her resources and was looking for suggestions.

The recital theme is Seasons.  Below is a list of recital song suggestions that match the spring theme the dance teacher was seeking.  Who knew there were so many songs about spring?

Oh, and if you are looking for a cute intro to the spring season check out Spring by Charlie Hope.  It is a short little song that is adorable and too cute not to incorporate somehow.

Spring is nature’s way of saying, “Let’s party!”  ~Robin Williams
