"I'm a Little Teapot"

From the age of three, until I was seven, I went to "dancing school," Mrs. Sullivan, in the basement of one of the semi-detached homes in our Bayside, NY, neighborhood. One of the things we learned was "I'm a Little Teapot."

Over twenty-five years later, when I taught "creative dance" in Jerusalem, we translated it into Hebrew, and I taught it to little Israeli girls. Now as a grandmother, I taught it to my granddaughters.


We love dancing and singing together. Yes, nothing beats those old classics!
