This dance was devised for Laura in my children's class in Ghent, Belgium. She was nine years old at the time and, although a very enthusiastic dancer, was looking forward to her summer holiday at the seaside.

- bars 1–8 represent the parasols being set up on the beach;
- bars 9–16 represent the children jumping over the waves that roll onto the beach;
- bars 17–24 represent the children diving into the water and swimming back to the shore; and
- bars 25–32 represent the children playing with their kites.
