Creative Dance Classes: 8-10yrs (Year 4 & 5)

Event details

Our Creative Dance Classes develop young dancer’s movement vocabulary, their ideas and ability to create and choreograph dance. Imaginations are sparked and nurtured by our experienced teachers. Physicality, technical and performance skills develop as they progress through our programme of classes for 3- 18 year olds.

In this class, children aged 8-10yrs (school year 4 & 5), build physical coordination and confidence in a creative space that offers them the opportunity to create their own imaginative movement sequences and dance phrases, guided by their teachers.
