Artsmark Award Levels
Here are some examples of how we can help based on the award level you are aiming for.
Silver Artsmark Award - we can provide a one off dance workshop in your school as part of a wider Arts elevation, this could be a topic linking to the curriculum or as part of your P.E lesson.
Gold Artsmark Award - working together over a number of terms, your school could experience a wider selection of our dance workshops covering many styles and building a showcase so your pupils can share their learning.
Platinum Artsmark Award - develop a strategic partnership with Dance Days. This would include multiple visits from the team, over a longer period of time covering various styles and giving pupils the chance to provide feedback, and creating a presentation of their work. This also enables key members of staff to help learn, build and deliver a workshop (with our guidance) as part of their Continued Professional Development.
Our Artsmarks packages can be tailored to your schools needs and adapted based on the number of visits you require.

Who is this workshop suitable for?
EYFS/KS1/KS2/SEND
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.
