I think the key is to make sure that everyone practices singing it as a
class. They need to risk singing aloud even though they fear they can't
sing or "don't have a voice." Singing in a group is powerful, fun, and can
help build community. You might give one quarter of the class verse 1,
another verse 2, another verse 3, and another the chorus. Or let everyone
join in on the chorus.
Perhaps you ask one of the dancers in class to choreograph some moves and
then teach the class his/her steps.
You might also ask them to develop a storyboard for their own music video
to the song, or to craft a lyrics book, puppet show, live theatrical
presentation, lo que sea.
Singing with my class has become one of the greatest joys of teaching for
me...and I am not one who looks to sing solo or even in public, but with
students in the classroom it's a real pleasure.
Suerte con las canciones.
