A group of brave Carr Hill staff entertained students and parents on Friday as they danced their way around the world on a Summer Holiday inspired dance routine.
The dance troop which was made up of fifteen willing teachers and support staff practiced for weeks before taking to the stage to perform their colourful, lively and technically imperfect (putting it politely) routine on Friday lunchtime and again on Friday evening as part of the annual Dance Display.
The students roared and cheered as some of their favourite staff members busted their moves to songs such as ‘Flying the Flag’ by Scooch and ‘Waka Waka’ by Shakira. Starting off on Carr Hill Airlines the team quickly descended into Dublin for a bit of Irish dancing, then on to Africa, India, New Zealand and finally the UK. The crowd went wild as the routine culminated with staff demonstrating their floss dance skills. Katie in CE4 said, “It was brilliant. It really made us laugh and I loved the music especially ‘Mans Not Hot. Mr Phipps’s solo was hilarious”.
Taryn in PO3 said, “I was really impressed with the dancing. I knew it would be good because Mrs Boughen, my mentor, seemed to be taking it really seriously and putting a lot of effort into it. I thought it was really good and a nice way to raise money for charity”.
Science Teacher Miss Webster said, “It was a lot of fun: It’s good to get involved in things that push you outside of your comfort zone and this certainly did that! Miss O’Connor had her work cut out with us but I think we did pretty well in the end”
Dance Teacher Miss O’Connor said, “As always I’m so grateful to our staff who are willing to get involved and not take themselves too seriously. It’s a bit of fun and everyone seemed to enjoy it”.
