Dancing, writing e-mail

Based on the song by The Weepies - World Spins Madly On (More on Film English here)

One song - two options:

You can play both songs with no sound and ask students to narrate the story and to name emotions they feel while watching it. And then play it with the sound and ask them if they imagined this type of music with such a video. You might also give them lyrics later and discuss the song.
*

When you use the first video (with the dance) you can link it with writing an e-mail.
Task: You have enrolled in the dance classes. Write an e-mail to your friend in which you will:
1) explain why you have chosen these classes
2) describe the partner you are going to dance with
3) mention one problem that you had during your first class
