Our Dance Workshops
On this page you can find more information about our dance workshop styles that are most requested by schools. However all of our workshops are tailor made to each school, so please contact us if you would like a dance style that is not listed here. All of our dance workshops are suitable for EYFS, KS1 and KS2 and many are also suitable for children with special educational needs (SEN). You can choose for the children to perform in a special assembly at the end of the day to showcase what they have learnt. All workshops can be delivered as secure Zoom sessions online to one class or one school.
Zoom Dance Workshops
In 2021 we were commissioned by We Are IVE to develop online workshops for schools. All of our workshops can now be delivered digtaly.

Then they will learn a lively dance, which will have them smiling from ear to ear.
