Stepping Out Dance Routine

Last week on Thursday the middle syndicate went to the Stepping Out dance routine with Dean and Ezra. First they told each class to line up in lines of boys and girls. Next they taught us some freestyle dancing. They did the actions to a song called Treasure. Then we did the dance routines with the song.
It was lots of fun and we hope they come back again.
