Bloemfontein's Holiday Theater Club.



Our first Holiday Theater Club was an exciting and successful venture! Of course there was little choice but to go with a Soccer World Cup Theme! We limited the vuvuzela's to ONE, though - Our Course Director Hayley gave us a blast of her vuvu to denote beginning and ends of sessions, and for a little 'fun' during sessions! Thanks Hayley, I think your diaphragm and cheek muscles had a pretty good workout!






A well-known local dance teacher, Corne du Plessis, came on board to teach dance and movement skills. Within a week she had all the kids moving freely, dancing with flags and coke-cans, and doing the Disci Dance! Thanks Corne!













Elize Swart, music teacher at a local school, came and taught everyone about percussion and beats! Everyone had so much fun discovering how many different ways one can make percussion sounds.  The teenagers, under her guidance, wrote themselves an amazing rap song, while the Lower and Upper Primary made a percussion band out of their own bodies!












Lower Primary did a play about a soccer ball factory, and the Upper Primary were buying flags, vuvuzela's, and hot dogs outside the stadium, when rivalry between vendors got a bit tense!
