Jumps and Turns

These 2-hour sessions are open to students from Y7 to Y13 and over, and offer a great opportunity to focus on a particular skillset in a supportive, mixed-age environment. Skills developed in these workshops can be applied across all dance styles.

Our weekend adult workshops are a great way to explore a new dance style or build on your existing skills. Each 2-hour session focuses on one or more choreographed routines in a relaxed, welcoming environment. Past workshops have included Musical Theatre, Commercial Dance and Jazz Fusion.
