Dear Parents
We are delighted to advise you that DanceSport is returning to Newport Public School in Term 2. Both Years 5 and 6 will participate in the My Best Self DanceSport program from Week 4 this term and continue into Term 3 for three weeks.
Throughout the program, Stage 3 students will develop dance skills, self-confidence, respectful behaviour with the opposite gender as well as personal, social and emotional growth.
The My Best Self DanceSport program includes:
- 10 x 1 hour partner dance lessons covering the Samba, Tango and Salsa or Jive
- specific wellbeing content woven into each lesson
- a student Wellbeing Journal showing understanding of the wellbeing concepts
- in-school gala event.
Year 5 (including 5/6AW) will have their lessons on Wednesday and Year 6 will have their lessons on Thursday. Next term, Year 6’s dance lessons will change to a different day while Year 5 will continue their lessons on Wednesdays. Students should wear sport uniform for their DanceSport lessons. The cost of the program is included in the Term 2 account.
All Year 5 and 6 students will demonstrate their dance skills to parents at a DanceSport Gala Night held at school on Thursday 4 August in Week 3 next term. Book that date into your diaries as it will be an amazing night. More information will be provided closer to the time.
Kind Regards
Year 5 & 6 Teachers
