FIRST Minister Nicola Sturgeon surprised school children when she joined them for a boogie in the rain as they celebrated their involvement in a dance project.
Children from Pollokshields Primary in Glasgow were looking at photographs taken of themselves dancing when Sturgeon - the local MSP - joined them and danced along to Happy by Pharrell Williams.
The pupils took part in outdoor dance workshops in the area led by "dance activist" Kate E Deeming as part of the Dance International Glasgow festival organised by Tramway.

Photographs of their activities, taken by Basharat Khan, are on display in the windows of local shops and restaurants in the Pollokshields area as part of the Four Corners exhibition until November 6.
Pollokshields Primary tweeted: "Wow what a lunchtime! Having a wee Jig outside in the rain and only our First Minister @NicolaSturgeon came out for a boogie!"

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
