Last Friday afternoon, the grade 1 children gave all those in attendance something to smile about. I mean really smile about!

In 45 minutes, the audience had been led around the world via catchy tunes and dance steps only possible by six-year-olds. Everything from a polka to a "swim" in Jamaica; from a rumba to a free dance accompanied by .... Meatloaf? It was pretty awesome. Possibly the highlight of the show was when the children grabbed an audience member as their partner and taught us how to rock n' roll 60s style. We twisted, mash potatoed and hitched a ride to the song "Do you love me?". How could one not smile after that performance!?

A big thank-you to the dance instructor, Mrs. Linda Elliott. I'm not sure how she managed to corral 60 enthusiastic grade 1 students and have them put together a comprehensive display of dance. Everyone who saw the show would agree, we can't wait to see the Scottish Country Dance performance which is scheduled for next term. It's sure to be the hottest ticket in town!
