For Schools
Creative Dance Workshops
Let our dance educators inspire your students! These workshops are designed to develop understanding of the elements of dance, choreographic techniques, and classical and contemporary dance. Teachers will value the curriculum elements covered and students will enjoy a lively and informative introduction to the making of dance.
“Our students are still buzzing from the workshop. Lucy was incredible with the students. They have all asked is Lucy coming back this Friday. Lucy’s manner with our students was wonderful. She had their full attention with her great lessons and wide range of knowledge and expertise. The students and I gained so much and we thank you. We would love to have Lucy visit our school anytime. She is a great asset to your company. Thank you for giving us the opportunity of this experience with Lucy.”– Rochelle Rhind, Dance Coordinator, Greenpark School
