Today during their PE lessons, the children throughout the school had the opportunity to take part in a modern dance workshop, led by choreographer Luis Kavouras and students from the University of Nevada Las Vegas’ (UNLV) Department of Dance.
After watching a few short performances that portrayed different styles of dance, the children were taught a sequence of movements from ‘Icarus’, a modern dance piece choreographed by Luis. The children thoroughly enjoyed this experience and it was truly amazing to see all ages, together, performing alongside the dancers.

The dancers’ visit to our islands has been sponsored by The Turks and Caicos Friends of the Arts Foundation. They will perform ‘Dancescapes Luminosity’ on 15th-16th May at Brayton Hall. See the TCFAF website for more details.
We would like to extend a big thank you to Luis and all the dancers and also to the TCFAF for visiting our school. We hope you all had as much fun as we did!
These movie clips make take a while to load to please be patient.
