Guess the Dance

This is a dance we created (in 30 minutes) using the 4 key elements of dance - Body Movement, Time and Energy, Space, and Relationships. Can you guess what we are communicating...here's a hint. It's a BIG thing.

Wahoo!


Congratulations, Great Eight! Our science documentary is a finalist in this year's 2011 Made Awards. All the effort and hard work has paid off and it's fantastic to see you all get some credit.
We're in the running for some amazing prizes - check out the website to see what we could win if judged the best in our category! Here's hoping...

And here's the video we entered. We'd love some comments below!
