this Year’s Winners…

Ravenswood Primary School in Newcastle won half a day training workshop learning a new StreetJazz routine and funky yogafit routine. We also worked with their teachers after school demonstrating new ideas for key stage 1 and 2.  Here’s what they had to say…

“The children loved learning the dance, we loved yoga fit and thought it was a great way to work on the children’s balance and stretches.”

” The staff had nothing but praise for the session it was great to receive practical ideas that could then be applied in dance lessons straight away. Reception and year 1 have already done the me to you song and it was a huge success”

“… the whole experience has been really valuable to us and I think the whole idea of imovesdance is filling a big whole in school dance lessons!”
