Dancing Away this Cold Winter's Day!

Well it was a pretty brisk start to the day here in Tūhono!  Luckily we had a very special guest to visit who warmed us up in no time!!  Today Brett Fairweather, who is the founder of Jump Jam (Aerobic dance) came to dance with us to promote the Jump Jam competition that is happening in September in New Plymouth.  Frankley School and Tūhono certainly have lots of interested tamariki who want to join a crew.  Check out the photos and videos below.  I think there may have even been some guest dancers up on stage shaking it with everyone else!
