Workshops & Holiday Courses
Alongside our regular class timetable, NFAD offers a variety of exciting workshops and holiday sessions for both children and adults throughout the year. These are designed to develop new skills, build confidence, and above all — bring the joy of dance into new and engaging settings. Scroll down to see the full list of our upcoming sessions and make a booking.
Children’s Holiday Courses (Ages 2½ and up)
Our popular school holiday courses offer children a fun, active and creative way to spend their break. Held at Lymington Community Centre, our sessions include a mix of dance, singing, and themed crafts, all led by our friendly, highly qualified and experienced teachers.
Mini Movers (Ages 2½–4)
Short, playful sessions (typically 2 hours) designed to engage younger dancers through imagination, movement and musicThemed Dance Days (School-age children)
Full-day workshops (9:00am–3:30pm) built around popular children’s films and stories – past themes have included Barbie, The Nutcracker, Encanto and K-Pop Demon Hunters. Each day includes dancing, themed activities and crafts.
These courses are suitable for both new and returning dancers — no prior experience is necessary.
NFAD Associates Programme
Across the year, we run Saturday skills workshops through our associates programme, focused on developing technique in areas like:
Jumps and Turns
Choreography
Creative Dance and Improvisation
Audition Prep
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.
Adult Dance Workshops
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.
Workshops are suitable for all abilities, from complete beginners to experienced dancers looking for a fun challenge.
