Steps Through Time
On the 5 October, Year 7 and 8 put on a dance show for our parents called, “Steps through Time”. The evening demonstrated our learning about how dance has evolved through time. Some of the dances included in the presentation were, a contemporary dance, ballet, Gay Gordon, rock and roll, disco, Charleston, tap, Irish dancing and hip hop, all of which formed part of our Performing Arts curriculum. Some Year 8 girls had leadership roles in choreographing a dance and teaching it to a small group.

The Year 8 students also researched famous dancers and dance companies, and presented their information on posters, which were displayed in the hall on the night. We also integrated our Visual Language by designing and creating invitations and a programme for the evening.
We had so much fun during our Dance Unit and enjoyed the challenge of choreographing our own dances in the style of the particular dance that we were given. The show was compered by Bailey Ferguson, who acted as a Radio New Zealand announcer. The presentation was thoroughly enjoyed by the audience and all the performers.
