Celebration dance workshops are a fun way to create an impressive performance for a special occasion.
We have been working with Sevenoaks Prep School on their Centenary Celebrations for a month with a group of 40 Year 3 students. Every week we have run workshops for an hour and a half, with the challenge of a different style of dance each week.
Diwali is one of our favourite times in the academic year, as we love teaching Diwali dance workshops!
Black History Month in October is a popular time for our African dance workshops.
No rest for the wicked eh! We have been teaching loads of summer holiday dance workshops during the school holidays, and having a whale of a time.
Special needs dance workshops are extremely rewarding, and it’s important to deliver inclusive workshops in these types of schools. We have done two visual impairment dance workshops recently at Joseph Clarke School in Walthemstow, and have really enjoyed the challenge.
Zest has taught lots of fantastic sessions recently for Grapevine organisation in Essex. It’s a group for adults with learning difficulties. They offer loads of different activities, either in the centre, or going out on trips. The members either come with carers, or by themselves, and are encouraged to be independent in the sessions.
Arts week dance workshops are a great addition to a creative week at your school. You can choose the style of dance to fit with a particular topic or theme you may be studying. You can have some fun workshops for each class, or have a performance piece created by the end of your time with Zest – the choice is yours.
The Robert Fitzroy Academy in Croydon had us in for two days for their Arts Week in Feb. Their theme over the week was an artist called Barbara Hepworth, and in all lessons they were focusing on her in different ways.
Book week dance workshops are so much fun!
Zest was invited back to Krishna Avanti school in Leicester to link in with their book week (see our previous blog about when we did them some Van Gogh inspired dance workshops). Their two year 2 classes were reading ‘George’s Marvellous Medicine’ by Roald Dahl, and wanted us to do a dance workshop to make the story come alive for them.
Chinese dance workshops were enjoyed by Belmont Junior School last week, for their multicultural themed week.
Multi faith dance workshops are great at educating students on a range of faiths. Linking to the different dance styles associated with those faiths makes the subjects come alive.
We deliver cultural dance workshops for schools in KS1, KS2, secondary, GCSE and A Level classes – and to students of all abilities.
Our school dance workshops link in with the National Curriculum. They provide children with creative and educational dance workshops in a fun, engaging and inclusive environment
