Dancing Like the Stars

Let's Dance

Our music today was Marshmallow which was a popular choice as far as Whakamanawa students were concerned.  We got to meet our dance tutor Shawn.  

The styles we are doing are Bollywood, modern jive and tango.  

We learned about hand space-If you can do a 360 and don't bump into anybody, you have enough room to stretch.  We started with warm up stretches.
We were able to do the first 25 seconds of the song and I must say, this is even more exciting than before the class.
Check out student individual blogs to see what kids thought.

Stretching in time

Here is what we have so far...



We are all very excited and looking forward to working with Shawn and developing our dance skills.
