We'll show you how to dance!

On the 4th of December Kowhai Syndicate held our end of year production called "Down Memory Lane".

Room 9 learned and performed an amazing dance called "The Evolution of Dance". It shows different styles of dance through the ages. We learnt most of the dance off Judson Laipply's video on You Tube and Rachel modified lots of the moves to make it easier and appropriate for 6 and 7 year olds.

Take a look at our amazing dance below, we hope you enjoy it!
We'd love your comments too!

Congratulations Room 9 - you rock! I was interested to see how you and Rachel would pull it off after watching the original YouTube (thinking it was way too hard) BUT - you guys rocked!!!! Well done for remembering all those moves, you have worked really hard and it was great to see your parents enjoying it too - I can't wait to show the kids at school tomorrow.
Have a wonderful Xmas Break

Well done! You guys are awesome dancers! I'm really impressed by how focused you all were. I wish I could have been there to see it in real life. Are you planning a world tour?

That was excellent. As a PE teacher you have given me an excellent idea for the dance component of our curriculum in 2009

This is TOO CUTE! I really love it, and everyone did a great job! How old are the students? I might just have to teach this to my 5/6 year old students!
