About our Diwali Dance Workshop for Schools
We bring a taste of India to your school day with our high energy workshop and your pupils will learn various styles of dance including traditional Indian dance and the more modern Bollywood styles.
The delivery of the workshop will be adapted to the key stage group and ability, with the pace and steps within the choreography increasing with the years.

A great way to start movement coordination, rhythm and of course, having a lot of fun dancing to upbeat music and using props (where applicable) for EYFS children.
As your pupils' key stage increases, so does the duration and pace of the workshop, and we start to include some partner work and more choreography.
Our dance workshops can be delivered within a special educational needs setting, and our dance team works with the pupils' abilities, ensuring all involved learn and feel part of the session. This could, as an example, include focusing on arm movements if your pupils use wheelchairs or incorporating the chairs into the movement.
