Zumba and learning our school haka

Zumba
The past few weeks Rooms 9, 10 and 12 were luckily enough to learn some Zumba with Mandy McCabe. She came in and took us for 3 lessons. We got a really good work out and some of the moves were really hard. Even Di joined in and she was Mandy’s assistant.
Zumba is a Colombian dance fitness program created by dancer and choreographer Alberto "Beto" Perez during the 1990s.
Zumba involves dance and aerobic elements. Zumba's choreography incorporates hip-hop, soca, samba, salsa, merengue, mambo, martial arts, and some Bollywood and belly dance moves. Squats and lunges are also included.

This term Mr Thompson has been teaching us the school haka and what it means. We have also learnt the actions for the haka. We have started to learn the second part but and we hope to have it finished and ready to perform soon.
