Homework for Starlets

Today our Starlets Class learnt a little more of the choreography to their Term Two song 'Nowhere To Go But Up'. 
They have now learnt the moves for the first verse and the chorus. 

Homework this week is to learn all of the words for verse one and the chorus off by heart, and to work on remembering all of the moves as well.

TERM ONE SONG: Let It Go 
From Frozen, the Musical 
with music and lyrics by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez

Based on the Disney 2013 animated film Frozen, the story centers on the relationship between two sisters who are princesses, Elsa and Anna. Elsa has magical powers to freeze objects and people, which she does not know how to control.  Our song "Let It Go" occurs when Queen Elsa inadvertently causes the kingdom to become frozen in an eternal winter and flees her kingdom. Up in the mountains and away from the townspeople, Elsa realizes that she no longer needs to hide her ability and rejoices in being able to use her power freely.

TERM TWO SONG: Nowhere To Go But Up
From Mary Poppins Returns
With music Marc Shaiman and lyrics by Scott Wittman and Shaiman

Mary Poppins Returns is an American fantasy film released in 2018 a sequel to the 1964 film Mary Poppins. 
Set in London during the Great Depression, the film sees Mary Poppins, the former nanny of Jane and Michael Banks, return to them in the wake of the death of Michael's wife.
Our song "Nowhere to Go But Up" is sung by The Balloon Lady, Michael Banks, Jane Banks, and Jack at the end of the film where Mary, the children, and everyone from Cherry Tree Lane have fun with balloons.
