Dance

This term in PE, we were learning the Charleston (a dance made famous in the 1920s). We watched some videos from Strictly Come Dancing and created our own Charleston. We mastered the basic step and progressed to creating sequences of movements. It also gave us the opportunity to showcase our gymnastic talent! We filmed our dances so we could show you them. Everybody worked very hard on their dances. They are all very good and we are excited for everyone to see them! It was lots of fun to film as we got to film ourselves; acting as Camera Assistants and Sound Technicians. Everybody was proud of themselves as well as them having a lot of fun.

Enjoy!
