Our dance workshops are tailored to answer the growing needs of educators and community groups to provide a meaningful and cultural education. We encourage students to learn about different cultures through movement and dance and provide a safe and fun environment for them to be creative and move through their own inititive and imagination.

In addition to timetabled music, song and dance, our work may be combined with subjects such as English, Art, Physical Education, Geography, History and Drama in order to achieve an integrated, complimentary programme adhering to particular needs.
Our workshops meet many requirements of the National Curriculum. Depending on age and ability, our dance workshops encourage students to move imaginatively, respond to music and to choreographic instruction and to perform to other students, parents and the public. Again, depending on age and ability, our dance workshops teach basic rhythm, choreography and improve on listening and co-ordination skills. For Community groups, we can provide a workshop which incorporates some elements of the school workshops. Any others you would like to discuss can be developed according to individual group needs.
