Year 6 PE: The Charleston

April 19, 2016
In PE, Year 6 had a taste of dancing the Charleston. Over 4 weeks they learnt many traditional Charleston moves including swivel hips, touch step, knee knocks and partner work. The most enjoyable step was 'Happy Feet' because the children found the motion and complexity quite challenging. To bring the unit to an end, both classes shared their final piece with each other, demonstrating their skills and understanding of traditional Charleston dancing.
