As part of our continuing commitment to nurturing young people with a passion for dance, we offer workshops to schools across the Midlands.
Workshops are a great way to introduce students to creative, contemporary dance styles and talk to them about accessible opportunities to pursue dance outside school.
Secondary School Workshops
We offer one off school workshops to secondary schools across the Midlands, delivered by our professionals from our Centre for Advanced Training Programme.
Workshops should ideally take place during the school day, and can be booked between January and June. The workshops are aimed at young people in year groups 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11.
Workshops must be 2 hours. These could be made up of two 1 hour sessions with different groups or the same group for 2 hours.
