Warkworth School students could be forgiven for having a bit of a spring in their step this month, after winning a national online dance competition.

The whole school, including teachers, got behind the NZ Dance Challenge to learn and record a routine to the song E Tū Tāngata (Stand Together), and their resulting video beat competition from more than 5000 children throughout NZ to take the prize for Term 2.

Their win entitles them to free registration in the national Matariki Dance Challenge 2023, plus a UE Boom speaker and an engraved trophy. The NZ Dance Challenge is an online programme designed to encourage children everywhere take part in and enjoy dance.
