Page 57 - HOLY CHILD 2004

This year Holy Child started its first Step team ever. Step
is a rhythmic movement of your hands and feet. Some
people say that step is a form of dance and that is true but
there is more to it. In order to perform well, a person
must possess the following qualities: leadership, confi­
dence and hard work. Leadership is the key quality that
keeps the team together. Confidence is the belief in your­
self and others, and this is the most important thing that
can help you feel part of the team. Lastly, you have to
work hard and be committed to the Step practices be­
cause practice makes perfect. Working hard and getting
the steps correct proves that you can do anything once
you put your mind to it.
