CSBS Summer dance workshops

We had lots of fun and hard work in our 2020 summer dance programme online...

Being unable to meet in person, we ran a shortened summer dance programme online with a range of workshops for all abailities from little juniors up to advanced levels. Although numbers were low, those that took part enjoyed the sessions and worked incredibly hard from home!

Summer Boogie and Dance Stars Junior

Our Summer Boogie gave little dancers aged 5-9 the chance to work on jazz and ballet skills with teacher Amanda and acrobatics with teacher Hayley. We had 10 little dancers take part over 3 weekly sessions and they were awesome! Dance stars Junior is our holiday dance workshop programme for dancers aged 9-13 (mids levels). Teacher Sammy lead jazz and ballet lessons with a greater focus on technique, before a fun combo class which included both musical theatre and acrobatics skills in a fun routine each week. We had an average of 11 dancers each week and really enjoyed seeing them work hard and have fun!

Dance Stars, jazz and conditioning

Dance Stars is our holiday workshop programme for dancers aged 13+ or Grade 4 and above, it was delivered online this summer with a wide range of abilities taking part. The sessions included a conditioning warmup, jazz technique, classical ballet and pointe work with an average 0f 23 young dancers participating from home each week. Teacher Hayley also ran jazz choreography sessions and 'conditioning for dancers' sessions, which were so popular and beneficial that they will continue to be included in our online dance timetable in the new term!

Many thanks to CSBS teachers Amanda, Hayley and Sammy for leading our holiday sessions, and well done to all the dancers who took part!
