The Westlake Girls Dance Troupes had a morning of bonding with one of the schools in our Kahui Ako. We worked with some of the akonga of Takapuna Normal Intermediate School to participate in fun dance workshops and performances. Students from the Hip Hop, K-Pop, Latin and Contemporary dance troupes performed and then taught students part of their repertoire to extend their movement vocabulary in the specific genre. This has been the highlight of our year so far as we get to share our passion for Dance with younger students and make connections with schools and students from our local community.
