Dance school trips and workshops

Dance, movement, coordination and balance

Creativity and Expression. Compulsory in the National Curriculum Key Stage 1, 2 and 3 as part of the Physical Education programme of study, Dance is a popular subject for school groups. From simple dance patterns to more complex dance techniques and styles, dance is a popular way to encourage children to explore their creativity and expression.

Dance and movement will help develop your pupils' coordination, balance and spatial awareness. Dance workshops for Early Years & KS1 should start with small repetitive routines and pace, with sections of choreography broken down into small manageable chunks. KS2 can explore more sophisticated methods and partner work while increasing the speed and delivery of the dance. KS3 & KS4 should be able to handle even more complex routines and choreography.

Using dance in your school is a great way to encourage physical exercise, in a fun and none traditional way. It opens up PE to those pupils who can sometimes shy away from competitive sports and will help build confidence and self-presence. Dance doesn't require any specialist equipment and any school hall or dining room can become a dance studio with the right teacher.

Dance can also be linked to many curriculum topics and school events and adds a layer of learning and enriches your pupils understanding of subjects away from the classroom. It can be incorporated into geography, religious studies and even history.
