Dance for Schools

Dance for Schools, gives pupils the opportunity to learn dance in their school as part of their academic and creative studies.

Our mission is to build social awareness, confidence, and self-esteem in children. By working with a partner in a dance setting, students are required to exhibit care, consideration, team work, and mutual respect all transferable skills necessary for adult life. People all around the world share many different dancing traditions, sometimes it is nice to have a sampling from many different places.  We learn familiar lessons about community and social interaction from dancing, whilst discovering similarities and celebrating differences between cultures. ....

"Once again, a big thank you for running such fun workshops for the kids last week." " I could see everyone enjoying themselves."  "I thought you might also like to have the feedback I have received so far....nothing specific, but good vibs all round - really well done!!."
K.Neal, Cambridgeshire

Thank you for all your hard work. The students thoroughly enjoyed the experience. You were fun, clear and very informative, whilst maintaining the interest of the students.
Haileybury, Hertfordshire.

"The teachers were excellent and kept their enthusiasm throughout, even though it was a very hot and long day. The organisation went smoothly. The children, both girls and boys joined in the workshops willingly. They were inspired to learn and try their best even when the demonstrated dance moves were quite challenging. They remained on task even though the workshops were fairly long and required a lot of stamina.

"It was certainly a treat for the children to have such experts leading the workshops. Also it
was a fitting way to end the day with the children watching the workshop leaders perform, having had an introduction to the dance forms. ."
Parent, Cambridgeshire

"The children simply adored you. They had so much fun."
Channing, London

The majority of children in our school have little experience of varying cultures and sometimes they find it difficult to empathize and put themselves in somebody else's shoes. Very few go abroad on holiday. Through taking part in this exciting Day they were all given the opportunity to explore and gain some understanding of several different countries. It will be something that they will always remember"

"The children's enthusiasm did not stop at the end. They came back and asked to perform their dances in assembly to the rest of the school! So the whole school benefited from their experience. Thank you very much for your careful organisation. It is greatly appreciated"

Programs can take any shape depending on your needs. We can be hired to cover a class period
(min of 2 hours charged) or our more popular packages are; 1 day up to a week of dance studies.

Our role is to structure the classes to meet the clients needs, as well as ensure that students have a fantastic learning experience. We will discuss with you the dance style(s) that most interest you and fit within your subject area and we will adapt and adjust the class to meet the expectations of you and your students. Most of the traditional dances styles are partnered however there are also solo/ team dances where partners are not required. Whether your a co-educational or single-sex school we can find a dance style to suit.

The classes serve a diverse population of children ; there are no pre-requisites and experience is not required. We expect all children in the class to participate and encourage their teachers to join in also.
