The last 2 days we had our first few lessons of Dancing like the Stars, for dancing like the we stars are doing a circus performance with hula hoops, Diabolo, circus poi’s and acrobatics. It’s going to look so cool.
For the first day when we got there we meet our instructors, Lisa and Chris. They run the circus and do after school lessons. Lisa and Chris showed us some partner tricks and we got into pairs and tried to do them, then we did pyramids that’s were we stacked on top of each other and made a pyramid, that’s what we did the whole time.
The second day we got there and we were told what we were going to do then we got straight to it. We were split into 3 groups and sent off to different stations, the first station was the poi’s. The poi’s are a black poi’s with a colourful ribbon on the end. The poi’s were so fun and they looked so cool, me, Lilia, Kiara, Despina and Zara all got in a line and started waving around the poi’s and we each took turns going in front and seeing how it looked and it look so cool!
The next Station was the Diabolo’s. Diabolo’s are a hour glass shape, they also come with a string attached to two sticks, that’s what you use to get the diabolo spinning. After you get the hang of it you can start to throw and catch them, I threw one and it nearly touched the roof.
The last station was hula hoops, Lisa taught us how to spin it on our hands and it was so fun. then we got some bigger hula hoops and played around with them for a bit then it was time to go.
Here are some Photos.
