Summer school dance workshops

Summer school dance workshops are a great way to make new friends and learn lots of dance while having fun.

We come to your venue and teach a large range of dance styles. Just let us know what you would like to learn, and we can deliver dance workshops to suit the level of the participants attending.

The number of days is up to you. We can do you a one off day, or a series of days to work towards a performance.

We’ve run a dance course in Hillingdon for the last two years, called ‘Just dance’.

This year we had 10 girls attend, ranging from 10 to 15 years over 4 days.

Daily dance workshops

We started off each day by playing some dance games. This broke down inhibitions and helped with us all getting to know each other.

We learnt a different style of dance on each day: Bollywood, Street and Contemporary using props.The prop we used were small white lanterns which looked really lovely in the routine.

In each dance there was an element of choreography where the girls got to create their own sections to add into each of the dances. They really enjoyed doing this and produced some lovely work.

We were pleased with how well the group got on – it made our job really easy, as they all wanted to learn and work hard.

Performance

On the last day we rehearsed all dances and got ready for the performance….

Around 30 friends and family came to the performance to support their young people. The participants really upped their game and gave lovely performances. We had got to know them all well over the 4 days and we found it emotional watching them perform!

They all got Zest Dance Workshop certificates at the end to show that they had completed the course with flying colours. We hope to see them back again next year.

Here’s a clip of the Contemporary dance to ‘You’ve got the Love’ with their group choreography added…
