On Wednesday 18th November, pupils from Abernyte Primary went to Bells Sports Centre in Perth to join with other schools for the St Andrew’s Day of Dance.

Nearly 1000 pupils came together to perform a variety of traditional Scottish ceilidh dances, including Gay Gordon’s, Military Twostep, Dashing White Sergeant and Strip the Willow.

Molly writes:
“At the Day of Dance we got to do lots of dances including the Flying Scotsman, Reel for Genie and Gay Gordons. There were loads of other schools who were dancing as well (even some of the teachers joined in!). The event was held at Bells Sports Centre. Some schools got to sit on chairs but we got to sit on mats which was so much more fun! When you were dancing you got so sweaty, so we missed out some dances (we didn’t know some of the dances either).”
