Talented Year 1 dancers from Henbury Court Primary School


Last October the 20th, Year 1 children aged 5 and 6 years old started learning a new dance for the Bristol Schools Annual dance festival. The dance is a Scottish dance which involves a lot of team work, dancing in small groups on their own or with a partner. The children rose to the challenge and practiced really consistently twice a week until the dance was ready for the first performance at the Colston Hall in February this year.
All the children excitedly put on their Scottish kilts, stage make up and some held heather arches. It was amazing dancing on such a huge stage with an audience. But what a cheer we received at the end! A truly amazing experience for the children. The children so loved performing the dance that we have gone on to perform the dance many times at other venues including Westbury Village hall. The children are always asking 'When are we dancing again?!!!'
If you wish to invite our dancers to perform please contact Jane Sawyer at Henbury Court Primary School.
