This month room 9 is learning Salsa dancing. On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays Donna and Char teach us and we practise in the hall. We have learnt how to do the Casper slide and Cotton Eye Jo at the start as a warm up. A couple of weeks ago we got to pick who we wanted as our partner to dance the merengue. There is a leader and a follower. It was hard work when we started to learn the dance then it got easier and easier as we practised. We have new dance moves each week to add to our routine.
When Char came to teach us she taught us a new warm up. We had to get in a line and walk around. It was so much fun we were all laughing and giggling.
We have a line we have to be in when we go onto the stage and we have practised walking on with our partners. At the end of every session Donna and Mrs Craib get to pick who takes the trophy home. If you want to take the trophy home you have to show the Addington Attitude.
One day Donna brought her parrot to show us because we had worked so hard. It could talk and shake its head.
It is only 3 more weeks until we go to the James Hay Theatre to perform our dance. We have to be at the theatre at quarter past 5 and we start dancing at 6 o’clock. There will be heaps of people there. We will get there by bus. We will have lots of fun while we are dancing.
I am really proud of myself and feel excited about going to perform.
Good luck for your performance. I am sure you will make us proud.
