The Dancing Student Teachers!

August 25, 2018 ( Saturday)

We are given the opportunity to showcase our talents not only infront of our students but infront of their parents as well. I together with my fellow SEA Teachers Batch 6 went to school at exactly 7:00 am to get ready. I am so nervous but at the same time excited. We were instructed that when the master of ceremonies introduced us to the audience that’s our cue to appear and to dance.

I felt relieved and happy after we performed. The parents, pupils and our teachers applauded and told us that they enjoyed watching us. We went straight to the house we are staying and change for this day we are also going to teach the kindergarten pupils one of the Philippine traditional dance, which is the “Lapay.”

Lapay is the bird which the dance is from. Out of a graceful flapping of the Lapay’s wings, Felisa Tupas and the fisherfolks choreograph a dance imitating some of the Lapay’s movements. But because we are teaching preschoolers we made the steps much easier for the the pupils to follow.
