I have two 10 year olds who are both very good dancers. Our recital theme is the 70's and I need a number for this lyrical dance. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

This is a good place to start - digitaldreamdoor.nutsie.com . . . It gives you the top 10 songs of every year in the 70's. My favorites off that list (for lyrical) are "Lean on Me," "Imagine," "Born to Run" and "Heroes."

Send in the Clowns by Barbra Streisand
The Theme from Love Story
You Don't Bring Me Flowers, sorry can't remember who it's by
Some one Left the Cake out in the Rain, sorry again :/
Hopelessly Devoted to You, from Grease

I second Lean on Me as it is conducive to a duet and the style of the song is that simple, clean, memorable feel the intimacy of a duet plays so nicely off of.
Also
Let it Be
Fire and Rain
Message In a Bottle

Lyrical songs we used for a decades theme for the 70s were:
How Deep Is Your Love - BeeGees (Emotions might be good too - could you fudge it a little with the Destiny's Child cover? not sure how strict you are with theming!)
Close to You - The Carpenters (cute for the little ones, not sure which age you need)
There's Got to Be A Morning After - Maureen McGovern
Hotel California - The Eagles (not sure for a duet though)

In response to a previous post... You Don't Send Me Flowers is Barbra Streisand and Neil Diamond, I believe? And the Left the Cake Out in the Rain song is Donna Summer's MacArthur Park?

Time in a bottle - Jim Croche
He Ain't Heavy (he's my brother) - The Hollies
Ripple - The Grateful Dead

Hope this helps...will post more as they come to me. Good luck.
