All of our dance teachers are leading diverse careers across many types of performing arts. All have performed on stage and some have worked in TV and the film industry.
We also have the knowledge to choreograph shows, should your school require our help with putting together your school productions.
We provide our dance workshops across London, Kent, Essex and the Home Counties. We are also now covering Greater Manchester, parts of Yorkshire, the Midlands and The South West.
We can and do travel much further, if your school is outside of these areas please contact us as we may be able to assist with a Dance Day.
Our team have many years experience in teaching dance, both within schools and performing arts colleges. They are able to adapt each session to the age group and help support regardless of the pupils ability or age. We also help boost teachers confidence so they can continue using dance through PE lessons.
As well as having contacts with head teachers we also have close relationships with Inclusion Managers, PE Coordinators and Extended Services Teams as we also offer dance workshops during holiday periods. Should your school be open during the holidays and offer day activities then Dance Days could help provide a dance workshop.
We fully embrace diversity and inclusivity within our team. Our team members are experienced dance teachers, and work with us due to their amazing dance skills and wonderful teaching talents.
We have dance teachers from all backgrounds, but, we do not allocate our dance teachers based on this. Our workshops are provided to share cultural and relevant information to the particular style(s) chosen, and for your pupils to learn something new and have fun.
Your team member will be allocated based on their teaching skills and knowledge of the particular style(s) and will not be allocated based on their own individual heritage.
