The Primary Wing of Greenway Modern School conducted a vibrant and culturally enriching assembly on the occasion of International Dance Day, celebrated annually to highlight the importance of dance in expressing emotions, preserving culture, and promoting unity through rhythm and movement. The event, held in the school ground, was a colourful blend of tradition, diversity, and youthful enthusiasm.
The assembly commenced with a warm welcome extended by the student anchors, followed by a brief yet informative presentation about the origin and purpose of International Dance Day.
The highlight of the assembly was a series of impressive dance performances presented by the students of various classes. The first performance was a beautifully choreographed Bharatnatyam dance. With intricate footwork, expressive gestures, and traditional music, the young dancers transported the audience to the rich cultural heritage of India. Their grace, coordination, and understanding of the classical art form were truly commendable and received much appreciation.
Following this, the assembly took a global turn as students showcased dances from different parts of the world. A captivating Japanese fan dance was performed with precision and elegance, highlighting the serenity and aesthetics of Japanese culture. The colourful fans and synchronized movements created a mesmerizing visual treat. Next was an energetic African tribal dance that brought the rhythms of the continent to life. With lively beats, dynamic movements, and vibrant costumes, the students reflected the spirit of joy and community that characterizes African dance traditions. Moving further we witnessed the combination of Brazilian Dance with Chinese fusion by 1st and 2nd grade students, that brought much more enthusiasm to already lively assembly.
After the cultural segment, the assembly moved on to an equally important and proud moment — the distribution of certificates to the winners of the recently held Handwriting Competition. The competition had seen enthusiastic participation from students across all grades, and the winners were recognized for their exceptional neatness, letter formation, and overall presentation.
