The excitement was palpable at St Columbkille's Catholic Primary School on Tuesday, September 24th, as students, staff, and families gathered for the vibrant Dance Through the Decades showcase. With energy buzzing throughout the hall, each Year group took the audience on a journey through time, performing dances from the 1950s to today’s viral hits. The event brought together decades of music and dance, celebrating both the school's spirit and the creativity of its students.

Kindergarten opened the show, transporting the audience to the 1950s with their adorable rock 'n' roll performance, complete with poodle skirts, bow ties, and playful twists. As the showcase continued, the audience enjoyed a colourful array of costumes, from the psychedelic 60s to the glittering disco of the 70s. Year 3’s fabulous 80s routine, filled with funky moves and limitless neon, was a particular crowd-pleaser.

Each Year group embraced their decade, capturing not only the music but also the spirit of the times. Year 4 embodied the style and attitude of 90s boy and girl bands, impressing the audience with both their choreography and phenomenal costumes.

The grand finale saw Year 6 students take the stage to perform the latest viral hits, showcasing their enthusiasm and sharp, modern dance moves. It was a fitting end to a performance that bridged generations, highlighting the timelessness of music and its evolution.

Months of planning and rehearsals went into making the event a success, with teachers, students, and families collaborating to create something truly special. The smiles, laughter, and cheers from the audience were a testament to the pride and joy felt by all involved. Dance Through the Decades was not just a showcase of talent but a celebration of the strong, vibrant community at St Columbkille's, leaving everyone with unforgettable memories.
