The Dance strand helps children to learn through dance and to learn about dance. Through dance, children are encouraged to understand a range of movement concepts, work harmoniously with others and develop creativity and imagination. Through exploring and performing dances children come to understand that dance is a medium for the expression of ideas, thoughts and feelings.

Mr Mc Keown’s 5th class have been participating in the dance strand as part of their PE lessons. They are using the big screen in the hall to follow Youtube videos. They all have their own PE mat to stand on. Their favourite dance is the Macarena. Even Mr Mc Keown took to the dance floor. Have a look at them in action.
