Our
Skipping choreographers
The
two very talented people who taught us to skip (properly), are called
Jennifer and Austin Powell. They were fantastic trainers and we
are very grateful for their help.
Over
a period of two and a half hours they demonstrated and helped us
to practise ten or eleven different skipping steps. We were all
very tired at the end of it and we drank loads of water. We then
put on a demonstration to key-stage one children and parents.
Jennifer
was very fit and she was very helpful and talented. Austin was very
humorous and he told us to be positive about all the steps that
we practised.
Before
one skipping step I actually started praying because it looked so
hard that I thought I was going to die. But after I tried it, I
was very good at it. We ( the skipping friends) learnt loads of
skipping skills, tricks with skipping ropes and skipping rhymes.
We
have all got better at skipping and better at different skills.
...So thanks Jennifer and Austin, without you we wouldn't know half
the things we know now.
