CREATIVE DAY OF DANCE
The day of dance is when each school choreographs a dance of their own, they can choose to dance to music that they want. We did a dance to 2 songs that were both English but sounded Scottish. We wore our gymnastic leotards and a white rag around our waists. When we got to Perth Concert Hall there were lots of people, we were on 13th so there were lots of dances to watch.

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.

“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).”
On Tuesday 17th February, the pupils from Abernyte Primary joined up with the pupils from Collace Primary to move and groove to “Radioactive” by Imagine Dragons at the annual Day of Dance. Pupils from both schools had been practicing at individual schools and at joint rehearsals for weeks prior to the performance and had put a lot of effort into learning the dance choreographed by Mrs Holt. Both schools had recently learned about Bridge Technology, so the glow-in-the-dark dancers incorporated performances as the three different bridge structures that span the Forth into their act .
On Tuesday 6th May, the minions invaded Perth Concert Hall for the Creative Day of Dance! After weeks of choreography and practice, Abernyte and Collace pupils joined forces to perform their own dance to the song “Happy” from the Despicable Me 2 soundtrack. Pupils worked hard to learn the routine with their peers from Collace and Mrs Holt worked VERY hard designing the dance and drawing all those minion T-shirts! Well done everyone!
