Celebration of Dance - LOLPS team

May 10, 2017

Each year the Limestone District school Board gathers thousands of students together for a dance party known as the Celebration of Dance. This large gathering of students (which was held at Old Fort Henry again this year) provides an opportunity to celebrate movement and expression through dance.

"Celebration of Dance helps students to increase their levels of physical activity while having a lot of fun," said Lara Paterson, a physical activity specialist with KFLA Public Health and the Limestone District School Board, in a statement.
All LDSB elementary schools are invited to apply to have a dance team lead one of the dances each year.

This year, Land O' Lakes Public School was lucky enough to be chosen to enter a team and choreograph a routine. Nine students worked diligently in the fall to learn their dance. They were videotaped and added to a YouTube link (along with the rest of the dance teams who were chosen from other schools). All schools participating have used these YouTube videos to teach the selected dances to the rest of the students in preparation for the big day. The students at Land O' Lakes Public School have been practicing their dances for the past several weeks and the school was  an empty place on Tuesday, May 9th, as almost the entire student population traveled by bus to Old Fort Henry to participate in this year's Celebration of Dance!
