Year 3 had another fantastic session with the Royal Ballet this week as we continued building on everything we’ve learned so far. We began by recapping our previous skills, including our port de bras, balancing, travelling steps and how to use our bodies to show expression and control.

Mr Morris helped keep us perfectly in time by playing the drums, guitar and tambourine, creating a lively rhythm for our dancing. We travelled across the hall with strong leaps, followed by high‑kneed skips, concentrating on smooth timing and soft landings. Our side gallops were full of energy, with children swinging their arms, bending their knees and looking carefully in the direction of travel.

We also practised jumps on the spot and a magical movement called “gathering stars in the galaxy”—renamed “swirl‑tastics” by one imaginative dancer! Everyone finished with a slow, graceful turn, arms stretched wide and bodies moving at different levels.

A joyful lesson full of confidence, creativity and beautiful ballet technique!
