CHILDREN got into the rhythm at a world dance day.

Pupils at Raglan Primary School grabbed their pom-poms and put on their stetsons for the event at the Whitehall Recreation Ground, Southlands Road, Bromley.

They waved flags and learned dances from around the world to teach them about multiculturalism and geography.

Some of the children released doves at the finale of the October 19 event.

Headteacher Jackie Cassin said: "The whole community were behind us and because it was outdoors there were no restrictions on the number of people who could be there.

"It was a really vibrant atmosphere and the doves were released to promote peace in the world."
