Who are Dance Days?
Dance Days have been providing educational, interactive and fun dance workshops for schools since 2013, and we visit schools in London, the South East, the Midlands, the North West and Yorkshire. We are continuously recruiting to enable further coverage of the UK.
We inspire, educate and boost confidence through dance and provide a unique experience without breaking the budget.
Many of our dance workshop styles link directly to the school curriculum and enrich your pupil's learning while helping with PE in a none traditional way. We adapt the delivery of our workshops, so they are suitable from Nursery age right through to Secondary School.
We are very proud to have received such great feedback from teachers; this is down to our highly skilled teaching team, all of whom have enhanced DBS checks.
