Dancing Like the Stars

In Week 10 Jessie and Sepela joined children from Tāwhirimātea and Ata Hapara to perform at Isaac Theatre Royal in Dancing Like the Stars. We had to be there before the audience to make sure we were all ready to go.

First, everyone went backstage and sat in their school groups.


Then we went on stage and had to practice the start of the dance so they could check the stage size and the lights.


Then we had to take our stuff and go and sit down and wait. While we were waiting we got to have a look at the theater from our seats. It was so beautiful!

All of the families were let in before the show started and it was so exciting to see them sitting behind us or waving at us from upstairs. Did you know there are 3 levels at the theater?

Finally, the show started and there were so many amazing groups! One school had the whole of their year 5 and 6 class performing. Between each school group, a professional dance group performed. Then, it was our turn! Everyone was so nervous but they pulled off an amazing routine and all of the teachers and families were very proud.
