School Workshops & Incursions

Dance in Schools

Dance workshops offer an ideal avenue to integrate movement, foster stress relief, and enhance energy levels in your students' daily routines. Dance, as an innate and fundamental human activity, predates spoken language and is instinctively embraced even by pre-verbal children. Numerous studies have delved into the effects of dance on children and adolescents, revealing benefits that extend far beyond the classroom, leaving a lasting impact throughout their lives.

Some of these outcomes include:

Perhaps most crucially, dance is inherently enjoyable, offering young people a daily dose of positivity, mental resilience, and optimism. In recent years, we've observed a troubling rise in diagnoses of anxiety, depression, and other mental and emotional disorders among children. There has never been a more pressing time to equip children and adolescents with the tools and resources necessary to regulate emotions and foster both physical and mental well-being

Your Students

We understand that all students are different and that is why we make it our priority to differentiate and cater to the needs of your students as much as we can, to ensure they are able to get the most out of the experience.

Important note: We may ask for photography/videography permission to use for our own promotional, website and social media use. Please ensure your school provides parents/guardians of students with permission notes and please inform us, prior to the workshops commencing, which students do/don't have permission.

In-School Workshops and Incursions

Our workshops are 1 hour each and can be implemented as a weekly or one-off activity. We currently offer three options for the type of workshop we can offer your school:

  • CAPA (Dance) Program (K-6 only)
    Taught by a qualified Primary and Special Needs Teacher, this 5-week long program (taught once a week), explores movement and dance inspired by South Asian styles, and aligns directly with outcomes from the NSW Creative Arts K-6 Syllabus. Schools will be provided with a copy of the program and if required, a report comment that can be applied to student reports for the Dance KLA.
  • Performance Preparation
    This is where we would be teaching your students a particular routine that could be performed at a school related function such as a Performing Arts Concert or Multicultural Day.
  • Creative Choreography Classes (Year 7-12)
    This workshop is designed to be implemented in high schools for Sports, or an extra-curricular activity. This workshop can be tailored both for students with no experience in dance, or students with dance experience who want to challenge themselves artistically, technically and choreographically.

All workshops can be conducted onsite at your school and are generally structured as follows:

  • Warm Up (5 minutes)
    Designed to get the heart pumping and prepare the body and mind for movement.
  • Learning a Routine (50 minutes)
    The main part of the workshop where students will learn a routine. All routines are taught with clear step by step guidance.
  • Cool Down (5 minutes)
    Our cool down incorporates mindfulness, breathing and relaxation techniques and takes influence from basic yoga stretches.
