Posted by Miss Porter. Thursday, May 5, 2016. We were lucky enough to be taught some skills from the Footnote Dance company from Wellington. We had two sessions with them. We learnt that to be a good dancer you need to be strong, flexible, and have good balance and coordination. Posted by Miss Porter.
