Our teachers can provide PE and PPA classes for a range of ages and abilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><br>We are well known for our Street Dance style classes, but we also do a range of cross-cultural and national curriculum based classes. These include history themed classes such as The Romans, The Tudors, The Swinging Sixties and various cultural dances such as Bollywood and African, to name but a few. We are more than happy to tailor dances to many subjects and your specific needs, so please do enquire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gallery.mailchimp.com\/cd68dbc270d6e79b880139e52\/images\/d9eff4c7-b215-408c-a2b2-4405093f8f24.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">We have found that children improve in health,&nbsp; fitness, &nbsp;confidence and team building skills through regular attendance. Regular dancing provides opportunities for children to discover and develop their own creative expression.<br><br>We hold regular showcases, providing an opportunity for children to experience performance in a safe, supportive environment.&nbsp; Our Winter Showcases have really highlighted&nbsp;how much the children have learned, and how much their skill levels and confidence have grown during the year. Street Dance is a cool way to keep fit, improve co-ordination and flexibility and get used to being in the spotlight through performance. Kids have a chance to learn from professional dancers, some of whom have worked on TV, won competitions, and trained other dancers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Here are some recent quotes from our participants:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><em><\/em><br><em>\u201cI think it helps me be less shy showing people my dance. &nbsp;<\/em><br><em>My dream is to be in musicals.\u201d<br>Claire aged 9&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">When asked about their goals one pupil said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201d&nbsp;<\/em><em>To teach &amp; inspire young people through dance.\u201d<\/em><br><em>Alison aged 11<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019ve also seen a increase in attendance with several of our children now attending up to 3 classes. This has come from the quality and dedication of our teachers who are all DBS checked, insured and go through a \u2018child protection check list\u2019. We have \u2018live\u2019 policies in place that ensure we work to the highest level and are fully accountable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">As the Principal, I believe strongly in the school\u2019s ability to truly enhance children\u2019s aptitude to apply, study and achieve. I would love the opportunity to tell you more and for your school to experience our classes. We are offering a free taster dance lesson to any school that would like to see how we work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">If you would like more information you can&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:info@funkitupdance.com?subject=School%20Dance%20Class%20Enquiry\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">email me by clicking on this link<\/a><strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">We look forward to hearing from you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We offer dance workshops for: We can tailor a session to fit your needs.
