Years 3 and 4 French Cabaret

With much excitement and anticipation, Year 4 performed in the French Cabaret on Wednesday 21 October. Year 3 did their own version the next day. The French Cabaret was an enthralling performance telling a story with dance! This year’s theme was a virtual tour around France.

In preparation, we went to the recording studio to sing 500 Stairs, Be our Guest, Better When I’m Dancing and I Just Really Love Being King. Next, we had to learn our dances, it was really fun! The dances were choreographed by Mrs Hare’s daughter, Mrs King, Miss Wells and some Year 6 girls. We followed the dance videos to learn the actions. Then we perfected our moves to make sure they were synced, and we were ready!

Finally, we got to see our costumes! I was so curious to know what they were! 4M wore fluffy tutus, 4S wore Louis XIV crowns, 4J were the chefs, 4W looked like they had walked straight out of Paris in their French couture! Can you match our costumes to our song? Then it was time to learn the finale of our show. Our song was Champs-Élysées. We learned the finale in our French classes.

Now, for the moment we were all waiting for, the final recording of the whole Cabaret! I was nervous, but also excited! Butterflies were fluttering around frantically in my tummy. The dance was fun to do, as well as telling an exhilarating story! I think the French Cabaret was super awesome! I can’t wait to watch it with my family. COVID-19 certainly didn't spoil our fun! I’m sad we don’t get to do it next year, but I can’t wait for all the other performances to come. The French Cabaret was très magnifique!
