Theme - Christmas, Nativity, dancing to Bethlehem!

_________________________________________

Content - Bright and cheerful, ‘Dance Away’ is a perfect travelling song for for inclusion in a Nativity, dancing towards Bethlehem in anticipation of finding baby Jesus there. Originally designed for a group of ‘donkeys’ to sing, hence the ‘ee-ore’ moment at the end of the song!

Lyrics sample

Dance away!  Dance away!

We’re off to Bethlehem today!

Dance away!  Dance away!

To Bethlehem today!

Don’t be late, no need to wait.

Don’t sit around staring at the ground.

Don’t be late, no need to wait

Let’s (clap) not (clap) stay! (clap, clap)
