Year 9 Ceroc Dance Day with Ascham

Last Friday our Year 9 students attended the Ceroc Dance Day at Ascham. The annual event has become a highlight for both schools’ calendars, and a wonderful opportunity for students to get to know each other and learn some new skills. 

Starting the day off as a single cohort, the Year 9 Cranbrookians spent time with Nathan from Colourbeat, learning some basic moves and about the importance of dance for communication but also social interactions. Shortly after the Ascham students joined us and the students got a chance of doing some traditional ceroc/partnered dancing, which they found engaging and vaguely embarrassing. After morning tea they were put into groups to work on choreography pieces to many songs that ended in performing the dances in front of all 350 students. 

It was wonderful to see that some of our students have amazing break dancing and back flipping skills, and hope to see them keep it up.
