Dancing Like The Stars

On Tuesday 24th September, all the year 5 children went to the Aurora Centre to dance like they have been doing for the last 8 weeks. We have had a dancing teaching called Melody. I was very nervous in the car. When we got there, the girls got their makeup done, and the boys got their black stripes on their faces. When the makeup was finished, the other schools started coming in. Then the teaches took some photos of us in a group, the last photo was all of us on a lean. The performance started at 6:00 pm. At about 5:30, we started to take a seat in the place that we were going to dance. The room was huge!Our group was the first performance of the night. Then the host called out our school and we hopped on the stage. The stage was massive!!Then the music started playing and we started the dance. All the boys were back stage, then when the girls finished there dance the boys come running out and the girls sat on the edge of the stage. When the boys finished there bit, the girls ran back on the stage and got in there position. When the dance was over, the audience started clapping and we left the stage. Then the other schools started dancing and we weren't nervous any more.

At the end the host taught all the children a dance, it was cool!The host won the 2006 New Zealand Dancing Like The Stars. When we were leaving, Mum and Dad bought us Chinese from the restaurant called China Kitchen. It was yummy!! I thought it was fun watching the other schools dance because they were all different.
