LETS DANCE THROUGH THE DECADES

Dance has been a significant form of expression and entertainment throughout the decades. From the iconic moves of the 1920s to the popular dances of today, it has evolved and adapted to the changing times. For primary school students, dance is not only a fun activity but also a way to learn about different cultures and history. Through dance, children can travel back in time and experience the vibrant and energetic dances of the 1950s, the groovy moves of the 1970s, and the iconic routines of the 1990s. It not only promotes physical activity but also fosters creativity and self-expression. By exploring dance through the decades, primary school students can gain a deeper appreciation for the art form and its rich history.
