Our Summer Dance Intensive offers a week of dance, creativity and performance for children and young people. Led by professional choreographer, Michael Heatley, dancers will spend the week learning new skills. They will be creating original movement and working together to make a brand new performance piece to share with family and friends at the end of the week. Whether your young person already loves to dance, or is keen to try something new, this is a welcoming space to build confidence, make friends and be part of a creative team.
