In just one week we have had a school disco, a visit by Te Whanau Kapahaka Roopu and had Tupua Tigafua from the New Zealand Dance Company come and talk with us about his life as a dancer! This term we are looking at the many reasons people dance and we will be answering these questions through designing and performing dance pieces. Some of our students will be working with Auckland Art Gallery to create dance pieces that interpret some of the amazing visual art pieces at the gallery. Tupua Tigafua danced into school to share some of his amazingness with us! Fa'afetai tele lava! Our DJ rocks the SPS hall And the teachers led the way in the dancing!
