Simply supernova
Let yourself ignite as Chelsea from Faulconbridge Public School guides us with some fun steps for the chorus of Supernova.
This simple dance sequence is easy to learn and accessible for all. You can adapt the moves to suit yourself and the space you have available to dance in.
We can't wait to see you explode into dance!
Don't forget to share your dance by sending to your teacher who can post on your school Facebook page with the hashtag #CAPAexplosion.
Alternatively, you can share with us to creativeclasses@det.nsw.edu.au.

When you decide to take part in these activities you agree to the following:
You have been given approval from your parent/caregiver prior to starting
You will clear a spot big enough to give you space to move around. Be sure there are no coffee tables, plants or chairs in the way.
Be aware of any pets or small humans that may sneak into your dance space.
Check the height of ceiling fans and light fittings so the area is clear as you reach above your head.
You will wear comfortable clothing that allows a full range of movement.
This will include appropriate footwear:
Sneakers, socks, ballet slippers, jazz shoes or bare feet.
You may have to adjust based on the flooring you are dancing on.
Bare feet may be better than ballet slippers on a slippery floor. Socks may be better on carpet.
Be careful if you are on a rug on a slippery floor.
If you have an injury or a medical condition please follow the advice of your health professional. It is suggested you view the exercises beforehand and adjust according to your limitations. Ask your parent/caregiver if you are unsure.
Please stay safe, listen carefully to all the instructions.
If you study dance please think about your knowledge of safe dance practice as you execute the instructions.
