Here are our ideas for the Eurodance 2011 Logo. Below our pictures is some information about our school.

Our school is called Larbert Village Primary School. Our school is situated in a large village/small town just outside of Falkirk which is about 40 minutes from our capital city Edinburgh. Larbert Village has approximately 330 pupils including 66 in the nursery. We also have an enhanced provision to help support children who need additional support.

We have recently had a new extension which gave us a lovely new ICT Suite, Gym Hall, Nursery, Dining Hall, Meeting Room, Office and 6 new classrooms. We study lots of different subjects at our school; Maths, English, French, P.E., I.C.T., Science, Geography, International Education, ECO Schools, Music, Drama and Art.

We are in Primary 4. There are 32 to of us. Our teacher is called Mrs Webster and our ICT teacher is called Mrs Willox they will both be helping us to create our Eurodance entry.

This is the second year our school has taken part in the Eurodance Project. We are very excited to learn all about your schools and watch your dances.

Hello everyone!

Good to be back in the big and happy family of Eurodancers!

We are students and teachers from Spetalen Primary School. Our school has 25 teachers,10 assistants and 306 students.

This year we participate with all the students in 6th grade, 52 in all.

This winter has been very long and cold, but we also have had some really great moments in the snow.

As you will see from our video,the dance we have chosen,is a tribute to Norwegian skiing culture and the Norwegian spirit,when supporting our athletes in the World Ski Championship, Oslo 2011.

We hope you will enjoy it!

We wish you all the best of luck in Eurodance 2011.

Eurodance 2011 Istituto Comprensivo Socrate - Italy

Istituto Comprensivo Socrate - Italy

Hello Europe, it's great to be with you again!

Istituto Comprensivo Socrate is a school for pupils aged between 3 and 14. It is situated in Marano of Naples, a little town just 8 km far from the centre of Naples, in the south of Italy. This year, the class 2H is going to present a Neapolitan dance called

"A RUMBA DE SCUGNIZZ".

In the Neapolitan tradition "Scugnizzi" were street urchins, dressed in rags, shoeless, who lived in the streets and didn't go to school. Even so, they were happy and funny and enjoyed themselves. Together with "pizza" and "mandolin" , the "scugnizz" belongs to the Neapolitan stereotypes.

France - College Andre Le Gourhan

Hello everybody! We are a junior high school in the South West of France. Our small city is located near Sarlat next to the famous prehistorical site of Lascaux. We are pupils from 12 to 14 from different classes. Our school is quite small (about 300 children). This is an advantage because it’s friendly. Some teachers are strict, others are nice. We’ve got foreign pupils from Belgium, Great Britain, Venezuela and Austria. We are interested in participating to the Eurodance 2011 project. We’d like to have contacts with other pupils from different countries to compare our ways of living and cultures.

Hi, from Spain!

Hello, we're here, again!

Our school is in a small village in Valencia, Spain. Maybe you know the "fallas", it's a typical Valencian festival when we celebrated the spring. Valencia is on the coast, we can swim in the mediterranean sea every summer and our city is lovely, we invite you to come to Valencia, you would love it!

This year my pupils are 8 & 9 years old and are in 3rd class.

We love dancing, but we're not professional dancers, we're fun people who want to know you, your customs and maybe become friends.

Good luck and let the party begin.

Istituto Statale E.Montale III ALT

This is our class. Here we are in our school garden.

In our school we study many foreign languages, and we love getting in touch with other students all over the world.

We are twenty seventeen-year-old students: fifteen girls and five boys. We love taking part in projects and international initiatives. We have recently taken part in a beautiful Comenius meeting with students coming from eight different countries and we have had a great time with them. Our school is located in Pontedera a small town in the centre of Italy, between Pisa and Florence.

The leaning tower in Pisa is one of our best known symbols.

Our region is really beautiful and we love it very much. It is full of art and lovely landscapes. We decided to take part in this interesting project together with our Ph E. teacher and we are rehearsing very seriously.

Traditional dances however are not really popular among young people in Pontedera. We will send our video to the local authorities too, so we hope to be able to contribute to the revival of traditional dances in Tuscany

"Malhão" (JI Tojais)

Our dance is a popular and simple dance in the north of Portugal.The name "Malhão" probably had its origin in some agricultural instrument and it danced a special choreography, men and women had queude up, face to face. They're approaching and turn away and beat the rhythm with their feet. The end of the dance is when they closed all the wheel and jumped together.
