Junior Dance Celebration

On Friday 27 November the entire Junior School assembled at a local hall and presented their terms worth of dance. It was glorious. The children all danced beautifully, remembering all the dances and managing to go where they needed to, when they needed to. The children of room one did especially well as they are only 5and 6 year olds. As an extra challenge we learnt a new Jump Jam and then taught it to the other two classes. So we had a small group of girls and boys who stepped up to the challenge and were able to stand at the front of three combined classes and teach the new steps and moves. No small feat if you're so young. Well done those children. We danced four folk dances from around the world, two line dances and two Jump Jam and finally at the conclusion of the dance all the children had to pull an adult down onto the dance floor. They then danced with their moms, dads, nanas, grandads and complete strangers to the Bird Dance. All the children's faces shone with their joy and it was great to see many laughing parents. It was a fabulous success and I know that we all enjoyed it.
