Schools at Dance City

What is it?

Schools at Dance City is an exciting opportunity for educational establishments to visit, explore and experience Dance City. All ages, abilities and key stages can be accommodated and a wide variety of dance styles can be chosen from.

Why do it?

The benefits of taking part in Schools at Dance City are numerous. Pupils will gain the experience of working with a professional dance artist in a purpose built building. Participating in dance activity encourages self-confidence, motor skills, co-ordination, emotional intelligence, body awareness, creativity and imagination. Our workshops support and enhance both the national curriculum and overall dance education.
