Over the past few weeks, our class have been learning about celebrations around the world.  The girls have been thoughtfully preparing an Islamic dance about Allah.  Miar was a fabulous expert and leader.  We took her ideas and jazzed them up further by using a variety of dance elements.

Below are some images of the boys' Jewish Hanukkah (Light Festival) dance.  They also, followed the ideas of a traditional dance and added their own selective ideas later, incorporating the elements.  Their dance was very fast however they managed to cope with this well after much practice.  
Take a peek at one of our practices….(kindly videoed by Jakub):
