How do you make a tissue dance? You put a little boogie in it!
How do you make our Molesworth students dance? You just put some music on and away they go!

As part of our dance unit this term we are focusing on different styles of dance and learning dance routines. Earlier in the week we had a visit from Chloe from Footsteps.  Footsteps are known for delivering engaging dance programs where students experience various dance styles including hip hop, funk, modern pop, and various multicultural dances from around the world, and they did not disappoint! Each group learnt a whole routine in 30 minutes! It was fantastic. Chloe was very happy with our listening skills and everyone’s willingness to give each of her routines a go.

Here are some comments from our dancers:

• Ethan – I loved the stomp and clap move! It had a pretty good rhythm.
• Kailee – I enjoyed the flushing the toilet move because of the splits and at home I practice the splits.
• Darcy C – I liked jumping up and down with our fists up because it feels really good.
• Violet F – I liked the ‘shark bait ooh haha’ move because it’s from finding nemo and that’s my favourite children’s movie.
• Alexia – it was fun!
• Louis – I liked the music.
• Billy – I really really really liked it. I liked the different dance moves.
• Wren – I liked that it was a form of exercise with heaps of movement.
• Ria – I enjoyed the basketball move and I liked the song, I love it.
• Aiden – I liked the shark bait move because there were some different sounds.
• Ashley – I liked all of it!
• Lila – My favourite move was the ‘no deal’ and ‘down’ move. It was so fun.
• Bonnee – I liked fanning my face in the ‘hot hot hot’ dance.

Next Monday we have a visit from DRILL Dance Company, one of Australia’s leading youth dance companies for a try at contemporary style of dance!
