This year the dance will revert back to the traditional time of 9.50am and St Michael’s Primary School will be taking the lead, with year six pupils Zach, Emma, Jowan and Brea at the very front.

Headteacher Arvind Hirani said: “I am so excited for the children to finally be able to take part in the dance this year, especially after the past two years.”

The Children’s Dance started in 1922, two years after Flora Day originally began.

All the children will wear white and will be accompanied by teachers from their school as they dance the route.

It is the largest dance of the day, with more than 1,000 children taking part from St Michael’s, Parc Eglos, Nansloe Academy and Helston Community College, with different colours representing the schools.
