Online Dance Workshops

Online dance workshops – live or pre-recorded dance workshops for your students!


During the global pandemic when many schools across the UK were on lockdown – it was vitally important for children to have some exercise, fun, and sense of normality still in their daily lives. That’s where our online dance workshops started – and they are still going strong even though the restrictions have now lifted!

We don’t want anyone to miss out on creative learning, and the physicality of our dance lessons. So we have adapted our teaching resources so that online teaching is a seamless experience for all involved.

Lesson planning for teachers and delivering class lessons online is draining – so why not let us do some of the hard work for you?!

So if you aren’t able to have face to face lessons, or maybe it just suits you more to have a session online – please get in touch to discuss your ideas…

“Thanks for doing the Google Classroom dance lessons for us today, they were fab and it all worked really well!” Amit Patel, Deputy Head at Smallwood School, London

Our online dance workshops are suitable for:

Early years, KS1, KS2, KS3 and SEN students

Choose the dance theme or style:

Take a look at the dance styles you can choose between. You can have different styles for each workshop, or the same style for all classes.

Live classes via Google Classrooms/Zoom

We have been delivering our dance workshops as we would normally, but with the help of technology so that we can stream live to your students.

Whether they are at home, still in school, or a mix of both.

Our Zest teachers are happy filming from their homes, having a professional set up with fast Wifi connection.

We will connect to your preferred platform at the time that suits you. We are happy to use Google Classrooms, Zoom, Google Teams, Skype etc
