ONCE UPON A DANCE

Fri 1 Nov

9.00am – 3.15pm
£25*/Bursary places are available for families that access Universal Credit or free school meals.

Delivered in partnership with Britten Pears Arts

Our popular Once Upon a Dance is back this October half term and we’re partnering with Britten Pears Arts to provide an exciting, fun-filled day of moving, music-making, songwriting and creativity!

What to expect on the day:

  • Get creative and bring your ideas to life through dance and music
  • Learn new skills and make new friends
  • Work with a wonderful team of experienced dance artists and musicians
  • Share what you have created with your grown-ups at the end of the day.

We welcome everyone to join us – you don’t need to have any previous dance or music experience.

*A packed lunch is included. Please indicate any dietary requirements when booking.

Please be aware, participants will be split into two groups based on age. It is important to note therefore that siblings may be placed into different groups.

“Fun, wonderful, amazing.” – previous half term activity attendee
