As part of our Year 7 Dance curriculum, students explore dances from various cultures. This enables them to explore the various reasons why we dance and the diverse cultural influences on dance. Students research, create and perform cultural dances. To introduce this topic, students get to participate in a session of African dance and drumming.

African performers from Ghana perform traditional songs and dances and then teach students traditional dance moves and how to play the drums. Students from 7.02, 7.04, 7.06, 7.08 and 7.10 (who have Dance this semester) enjoyed this experience Tuesday 13th May.

Lots of energetic dancing and loud enthusiastic drumming was evident. Students were very respectful and engaged in the workshops. We thank our guests who will come back in Semester Two to offer this to the rest of the year 7 cohort when they are studying Dance.
