Project Overview

Our project idea is called Eurodance 2011! We are looking for schools from across Europe to join our pupils in performing and recording one dance which is associated with their country. Participation will be limited to a maximum of two schools from each country.

The project will officially begin on Monday 14th of March 2011. Each school should introduce themselves to the other contestants by posting details of their school/class on the blog (http://eurodance2011.blogspot.com) by Friday 1st April 2011. This could be a short video, pictures or information typed into the blog. Each school should also include details of their chosen dance.

Each school should then practise their dance and film their final performance. This video should be uploaded to the blog by Friday 20th May 2010.

All schools should then watch the completed performances and score each school out of 10, except their own, on the online voting system. The scores will be added together and the winner posted on the blog.

The winning school will be rewarded with a trophy! All schools will receive a certificate for taking part.

This project follows on from Eurodance 2010! which we ran last year. You can see this project at http://eurodance2010.blogspot.com
