World War II Workshops
Who's coming to the dance hall?
We'll take your children back to the 1940s by learning some fast facts about The Second World War and helping them understand the power of music and dance during the war.
It will then be their turn to learn some steps and routines that accompany popular music from that period.
Some schools we have worked with include this workshop as part of their World War 2 day and the children and team are dressed in 1940s costume.

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.
