Dancing to a different beat

CHILDREN from Luttons Community Primary School were dancing to a different beat recently when they had a visit from an African drummer and an Indian dancer.

After watching a performance by the pair, pupils took to the floor themselves to learn aspects of classical Indian dance before composing their own pieces. Teacher David Blaker said: "The day went very well and the kids thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Both Simon (the drummer) and Magdalen (the dancer) commented on how well the children had done."

Mr Blaker said the activity was part of an African awareness week at the school and also a chance for children to learn about music and dance from other cultures.
