Year six had the joy of learning how to ‘jitterbug’ and ‘jive’ their way into the 1940s. 

Each class had the chance to participate in a different period dance from the 1940s and found how complicated and energetic old-style dancing could be. Another problem that our modern-day youth encountered was the fact that they were expected to dance with a partner, often holding hands!!!!!

They all enjoyed the experience and threw themselves into the situation whole-heartedly. Each class learnt a different dance and there was a lovely session at the end of the day when they showed off their new-found terpsichorean skills.

I’m not sure that they are ready for ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ just yet but the enthusiasm they showed was excellent.
