Time to Dance in Ladezers school

We hear the ringing of the school bell. We see school hallways filled with children and and we hear the sounds of laughter.
We visited school of Ladezers  for the first time, but we had  a feeling that we have known  this place and these people for the long time .

Event “Time To Dance” took  place in three parts, the first who arrived in the school hall were  the students of first and third grades. After the introduction of the dance teacher Leida , children started to warm up for the  dancing lesson.

Teacher Leida told a little bit about the history of Christian hip-hop .Kids were listening very carefully, just as  serious as  they were learning the dance steps.

Lesson lasted for  40 minutes, but the time  passed so quickly! Small dancers  prepared a wonderful dance that brought joy to themselves and to the teachers.Smiles of these kids were amazing!

Next lesson which also lasted for 40 minutes was attended by the second grade students. Even the teacher was dancing!Children’s joy and laughter, kindness and praying together was so nice! And I know that those kids carried the piece of all this joy home.
Sometimes the life in the country is not that easy – you have to feed  the family, pay the bills.And sometimes all that kids really  need is the time that they could spend together with their parents.
But ,of course, children were happy to receive the gifts ,they opened these presents with the great interest, and  tried on the new hats.

Last group of children were the students of  school director Taiga Plitniece -they were 10 years old.
They  learned the dance steps very fast and even made their own steps! It was pleasure for all the people who were there. After the lesson the kids and the dance  teacher watched several Christian hip-hop artist video clips. Of course ,children got their gifts.

Then we heard the ringing of the school bell again and the hallways filled up with 90 smiling and dancing kids!

“The LORD is God, and he has made his light shine upon us. With boughs in hand, join in the festal procession up to the horns of the altar.”

/Ps. 118:27/
