Westlake’s Dance Troupes were lucky enough to get to perform at Milford Primary School, before teaching the students some simple dances. We were greeted by a sea of enthusiastic kids. The troupes took to the stage to much applause and excitement, the six dances being Hip Hop, Latin, Jazz, Bollywood, K Pop, and Lyrical.
After our performances, which were great practice for the upcoming National Dance Challenge, we got to meet the year two cohort and teach them some simple moves. The kids were so cute. Some were shy and others were bold, but they all performed what they’d learnt with pride.
It was so nice to see the kids enjoy dancing. You could see their eyes light up when they learnt a fun new move, or when they got to boogie with their friends during the warm up. As someone who didn’t do dance until joining the Latin Troupe last year, seeing the kids fall in love with dance—just like I did—was so special. I hope we’ve inspired them to keep dancing!
