China has a strong history of various dance forms but its folk dances are amongst the most popular. Our Chinese Dance Workshops will enable your children to learn folk dances from this exciting and diverse area of the world, such as Fan Dance and Umbrella Dance.
In Chinese Dance, many of the traditional folk dances relate to important aspects of the Chinese culture such as hunting, harvest and ancient gods. We can give your children the opportunity to appreciate and experience this fascinating culture through our Chinese Dance workshops for schools, whilst enjoying a fun and interactive session.
What makes our Chinese Dance workshops unique
Our Chinese Dance workshops invite children to experience the elegance and storytelling power of traditional Chinese Dance in a fun, hands-on setting. They will learn the graceful techniques of the Umbrella Dance and Fan Dance using authentic props to enhance co-ordination and performance skills. Each session encourages movement and self-expression while giving the children a chance to develop a deeper appreciation for this beautiful art form.
Our Chinese Dance workshops for schools are delivered by experienced facilitators who bring energy, enthusiasm, and expertise to every session, making each one accessible, exciting, and inclusive for all ability levels.
The importance of Chinese Dance workshops
Dance is an expressive art that nurtures physical confidence, rhythm, and creativity. In our Chinese Dance workshops, children don’t just learn movement. They also learn to listen, collaborate, and perform as part of a group. The workshops foster important developmental skills, including motor co-ordination, spatial awareness, and emotional expression, all while promoting a sense of unity and achievement.
Perfect for enriching lessons in PE, Performing Arts, or cross-curricular cultural studies, our Chinese Dance Workshops turn learning into an experience the children will remember long after the school day ends.
Who is it for?
We can cater for up to 8 sessions of 30 children per day, each focusing on a traditional Chinese dances such as the Umbrella Dance and Fan Dance, complete with authentic props.
Conclude the day with an enchanting performance by the children, celebrating what they’ve learned. Whilst available year round, our Chinese Dance workshops are extremely popular during Chinese New Year and we would recommend booking early to avoid disappointment!
