Danza (Dance) is still the main focus for Artes Escénicas (Performing Arts) this term. We have continued to learn explicitly about 'Los 6 elementos de la danza: espacio, tiempo, dinámica, relaciones, expresión y ánimo)' (The 6 elements of dance: space, time, dynamics, relationships, expression and mood), focusing on one element for each lesson.

Spectacular Mass Dance 2021

We had such a brilliant and exciting rehearsal last Thursday 20th May @ Ivanhoe East PS! We shared a bus with Bell PS and were very caring and respectful towards others. We managed to make new friends and began to building new relationships and connections!

Seeing Deon and Hara (Spectacular Dance Choreographers).

The exciting updates on a live show still remain so far!

A live show at the John Cain Arena on Saturday, 11th September! We are still so pumped and extra ready to keep dancing!

There will still be rehearsals happening at our hosting school, Ivanhoe East PS. The next date for rehearsal which still stands is:

Thursday 10th June (10am - 2:30pm)

Please note that all students are required to be at school by 8:45am, as the bus will be leaving by 9:00 sharp.

We will continue to rehearse online via Teams. I will create these rehearsals via the calendar on Teams and will be sending a Dropbox link, where all videos for the choreographies can be accessed.

I will continue to notify of any updates via Sentral. Watch this space please, gracias! :)

Gracias for always bringing in your wonderful enthusiasm, smiley faces and motivation into all our lessons F/1s! The focus for Artes Escenicas this term is still 'Danza' - Dance. We enjoyed following a creative Secuencia de danza (Dance sequence) using 4 basic movements 'círculo, pies, manos y zig zag) as part of our warm up. This helped us practice how to create a secuencia de danza (dance sequence) with our groups. We are continuing to enjoy learning dance sequences for different types of songs! We were able to listen to a latin song, with a reggeaton mix for our dance choreography. We focused on learning a sequence for the coro (chorus) part of the song. We are very excited to be collaboradores (collaborators) by working in small grupos (groups) to create the beginning part of the dance sequence for the chosen song. The values we are continuing to focus on this term are Creativity and Curiosity, which also link to their Inquiry topic 'How do the changes in our environment impact our daily life?' Check out our dance sequences so far! Watch this space and danzas (dances) during this term! :)

Well done to all for still bringing that enthusiasm and excitement into our lessons! The main focus for Artes Escenicas this term is still 'Danza' - Dance. We are continuing to enjoy learning and creating new dance sequences for different types of songs! We got to choose which song we preferred out of Latin and hiphop songs. We focused on learning a sequence for the coro (chorus) part of the song. We are very motivated to be colaboradores (collaborators) by working in small grupos (groups) to create the beginning part of the dance sequence for the chosen song including 'dinamica' (dynamics) and 'relaciones' (relationships) as our main focus of the elements of dance. The values we are still focusing on this term are Creativity and Curiosity, which also link to our Inquiry topic 'Mi casa, tu casa?' The choreographies are looking very creative and dynamic already! Watch this space and Dance project during this term! :)
