Aly Raisman's floor routine was choreographed to the the Russian Sailors Dance by Reinhold Gliere. I love using this piece of music to move to and explore musical contrasts with when I'm teaching music. The songs theme keeps coming back and is easy to identify, but the style changes. In preschool music classes (and even upper elementary) we have fun identifying the musical contrasts, and discussing and acting out ways to move based on what the music sounds like.
Moving to music with your children will help them develop a good sense of rhythm. Model how to put the beat in your feet. Mirror your child's movement ideas as well.
