“I had the best time dancing at DanceEast.” – previous participant
Our Half Term Holiday Club is a fun and exciting way for your child to explore creative dance in an energetic and imaginative way. They’ll be encouraged to learn and express themselves through movement, meet new people, build confidence, and develop fresh skills.
“I made a friend” – previous participant
This February half term, children will explore themes of nature, wildlife and the climate through dance, storytelling, and arts & crafts. Inspired by the current Landscape Rebels Exhibition at Christchurch Mansion, participants will have the opportunity to experience real artifacts and images from the exhibition, dancing among the ancient wildlife of Suffolk whilst learning about the history of East Anglia.
