Students invovled in Sacre: The Auckland Dance Project have been taking part in both music and dance workshops in preperation for rehearsals starting in September.
The aim of the dance workshops is to introduce students to contemporary dance to give students confidence with moving their bodies and taking direction. In contrast the music workshops are designed to get the young dancers used to the complex sounds and rhythms of Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring.
Have a look at some of our favourite quotes from the year 8 and 9 students at Pakuranga Intermediate when asked......
What new dance styles have you learnt?

Have a look at some of our favourite quotes from the year 8 and 9 students at Pakuranga Intermediate when asked......
What new dance styles have you learnt?
“I have learnt how to use my body to tell a fantastic story.”
“Dancing to tell a story with Maori myths and legends like the gods of water and man"
Thinking about your experience with dance, tell me what is different about the dance style you learnt with Moss?
“He taught me something I wasn’t expecting to learn in my life.”
"It is more creative and emotional. Moss also told us how to respect dance because DANCE is important and we can move by using body language to tell different stories. Moss taught us dance moves that I never knew were dance moves. He likes sharing his knowledge and telling how his career started.”
