Boy, you can dance
Description
Ricardo Green, a newly qualified PE teacher at Cumberland Specialist Sports College, uses the theme of free-running to introduce his Year 9 boys to the world of dance. Grant and Kojo are especially reluctant and would much rather be playing football but after they and their class watch a video of two teenagers performing energetic and exciting free-running movements they decide to have a go. Christine Raines, AST in PE, explains the importance of dance in the curriculum and why it should be available to everyone. With his class Ricardo builds up a teacher-led sequence of high knees, jumps, half press-ups and turns and then asks them to work in pairs to create their own routine using some of the moves. The boys put in a good effort, show some promising flair, and even Grant and Kojo enjoy it more than they thought. Ricardo is pleased and feels his gamble has paid off.
