Turn Back Time Dance Workshop

The importance of dance throughout the decades has never declined, however the styles of dance have changed dramatically.  This can be best explored during one of our Turn Back Time dance workshops as it not only demonstrates that change but it brings periods of historical importance to life.

From the 1920s to the 2000s people always had different styles of dance to express the way they were feeling.  Our Turn Back Time dance workshop is an excellent opportunity for children to connect to periods of historical importance.  Due to the flexible nature of this workshop, each session can cover a different period and there are so many options to choose from such as:

  • 1920’s – Charleston, Jitterbug
  • 1930’s – Mambo
  • 1940’s – Jive, Swing
  • 1950’s – Rock ‘n’ Roll, Lindy-Hop
  • 1960’s – Twist, Cha-Cha-Cha
  • 1970’s – Disco
  • 1980’s – Hip-Hop
  • 1990’s – Macarena, Line Dance, Lambada
  • Modern – Zumba, Street

Our ‘Turn Back Time’ dance workshop links perfectly with International Weeks.

What Our Clients say

Please can I send my deepest thanks to you and your team for providing such a wonderful day on Monday!  It was an amazing success and the children were so enthused by the day.  Please can you let everyone who supported the day know what an impact their hard work has had upon our school.

Rhiannon Poole
(High Cliff Academy)

Just a note to thank you for all your efforts in organising to come and work with our boys.  It was fantastic, the boys loved the event and we would be keen to repeat it sometime in the future.

Helen Carlisle
(Rokeby School)

Thank you so much for the workshop on Tuesday.  The provider was excellent and the girls thoroughly enjoyed the experience.  By the end of the morning both classes gave an impressive performance.  Best wishes.

Jo
(The Study Preparatory School)

Thank you, we absolutely loved our African Drumming workshop.  The children thoroughly enjoyed it and we were pleased with the fact that all could participate and be active in the drumming.  The instructor was amazing with the children and their enthusiasm showed through the day, exciting the children further.  We would be very interested in booking the workshop for next year too.

Cathy Richmond
(Riverview Junior School)

I really enjoyed it yesterday when you came to do African Drumming with our class.  When I walked into the hall I was mind-blown by the drums!.  I had never seen anything like it before.  On the drums, there were so many different patterns which made them unique.  My favourite was the flame.  I also really like the bass because it sounded like a gong.  Then as we learnt the rhythms we got faster and faster and it got more and more fun.

Miss M. M.
(Year 6 Student)

Thank you for organising everything so well, and at such short notice. The workshops provided were excellent and all the children had a fantastic experience.

Mr G. C.

We have had this workshop 3 times now, delivered by your drummer, he was very patient with them and the workshop was aimed at their level.

Fiona M.

It was amazing! Full participation from the onset. Not really any ways to improve the workshops. Yes, definitely rebooking. We’re booking a ‘Samba’ Drumming Workshop for the week

The workshop was great and all the children had a great time. They thoroughly enjoyed the plays they watched and were enthusiastic about making their own puppets.
