Tamaki Primary- Move Your Body

Are you a wanna-be Beyonce fan? Do you want a feeling that a feather is tickling your back? Well you’ll definitely get it if you watch this movie! You’ll feel like dancing until you pass out.

 You should really watch this movie because it gets you in the groove to move and It makes you wanna tell everyone “Everybody, move your body!!!” “YEAH!!!”.

 The second reason is because this movie is so awesome that it makes you want to dance like there’s no tomorrow.

 The third reason is because this movie has the most beautiful scenes - you’ll love it. It has the most talented kids on earth in it.

 This movie was just meant for you it has everything it has Beyonce’s music and everything there's even some of her dance moves in the Movie.

 If you liked my persuasive writing then if I were you, I would definitely go to this website to watch this movie www.manaiakalani.org.
