TO MAKE ART IS TO CREATE, NOT REPLICATE.
As very young children, we are able to move and dance before we can speak.
It is the first way we connect with others and ourselves.
In a world of screens and scrolling, algorithms and AI, it’s more important than ever that we foster true creativity within our children.
Through exploration and play, young people organically develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills while learning to trust themselves without judgement.
Through years of working professionally at the highest level in the arts, we have developed methods to help young people harness the intrinsic benefits that come with movement.
Our goal is to help children develop confidence, curiosity and connection through dance.
MAKING MOVES EDUCATIONAL DANCE WORKSHOPS FOR SCHOOLS
Wales recently adopted a brand new curriculum. This meant schools MUST develop pupils’ high level, creative thinking skills, deepen artistic understanding, cultivate a range of skills and inspire expression, while providing meaningful experiences with specialist practitioners.
While this is great in principle, in practice it’s not easy for hard pressed schools to deliver this to the required standard. As a fully qualified teacher as well as a professional dancer, I know the pressures schools are under.
That is why Expressive Arts Education (EAE) offers dance workshops that focus on developing learners’ creative and critical thinking skills - compliant with the requirements of the Expressive Arts Area of Learning and Experience.
We adapt these workshops to meet the needs of each individual school.
