On Thursday 6th January Mrs Berry and our JTHS Dance Ambassadors were excited to be holding their second Dance Workshop of the term for a group of Year 1 Primary School pupils from Thomas Russell Infant School.
The workshop began with the Dance Ambassadors performing the routine which they have been learning and preparing for several weeks. The JTHS Dance Ambassadors were fantastic leaders and showed kindness, respect and perseverance towards the primary pupils as they learnt new dance techniques and new routines.
As the workshop progressed, so did the primary pupil’s confidence. It was great to see them expressing themselves through movement and showing great enthusiasm for the dance routine. The aim of the workshop was not only to improve dance skills but to promote an active lifestyle and staying healthy.
The JTHS Dance Ambassadors created a supportive environment and encouraged the primary pupils to step out of their comfort zones to try something new. Teamwork, collaboration and communication were a few of the skills that the JTHS Dance Ambassadors promoted throughout the workshop.
To finish, the group performed their routines. The level of dance skill and technique was a pleasure to watch. There was a real sense of accomplishment from both secondary & primary pupils and it was a joy to see the interactions between the groups.
Again, this event is the pinnacle of our school’s vision; one community, striving for personal excellence. Thank you to everyone involved.
