DanceMob

Year 7 Performing Arts Incursion

We recently had the DanceMob instructors from Nikki Visaj Movement come to school to run dance workshops during Performing Arts lessons for 7A, 7B, 7C and 7D. The instructors created a safe, fun and inclusive environment for students to participate in the active and dynamic experience. Students worked together to do warm ups, dance games, freestyle circles and dance battles, all designed to build self confidence, self expression, fitness and creativity through movement. The students had a great time and have been asking when the DanceMob crew can come back.
