Meta4Dance 
Class 3 have had a fantastic dance day with Meta4Dance. 

We learned about contemporary dance, floor work and the hip hop culture as well as choreographing our own dance sequences which we shared with our parents at the end of the session. 
Here are some of the thought from the children at the end of the day…
 
Tilly.        “ I found today great fun and I really like how we have created something together” 
Eliza      “ There was an amazing engertic atmosphere” 
Jack.      “ We were able to express ourselves through dance” 
Calumn    “It was really fun and I enjoyed the energy” 
Lily.          “ We learnt the history of hip hop for example ‘crews’  and how graffiti can be part of hip hop plus where it originated from.  I also liked that we had to communicate and work with different people in our  class that we would maybe not normally choose to work with” 
Emily.     “ I enjoyed creating the duets and new dance routines from contemporary and hip hop styles.
