Bookings open soon!
Fun. Energetic. Imaginative.
Filled with creative dance sessions, Let’s Dance! Holiday Club is a fun, energetic and imaginative way for young people to learn and express themselves through movement. DanceEast will provide a nutritious hot lunch, healthy snack, and drink, as well as arts and crafts activities. It’s a great chance for young people to form new friendships, build confidence and develop fresh new skills.
*Free places are available to those on income/benefit related Free School Meals. (You will be asked to provide evidence of free school meals during booking.) Limited spaces are available for young people who are identified as “being in need of the provision” (for example, those who are on Universal Credit).
Breakfast Club
We will continue to offer a Breakfast Club at DanceEast from 8.30am – 9.00am. Join us for some cereal, toast or fruit to fuel our bodies ready for a day of dancing! This is available to all bookers for no extra charge – it is free to those on free school meals and included in the price of tickets for paying bookers.
Drop off and pick up times
We use a staggered sign-in. If you’re not attending Breakfast Club, drop off and pick up times are in the following slots:
Ages 4-7: Drop-off 8.45am – 9.00am. Pick-up 2.45pm – 3.00pm
Ages 8-11: Drop-off 9.00am – 9.15am. Pick-up 3.00pm – 3.15pm
Access and inclusion
We’re committed to making Holiday Club accessible for as many young people as possible. Here are some of the things we do to make it an inclusive space:
- A welcome tour drop-in will be available. This is a chance for young people to visit our building with their guardians, get familiar with the space and ask any questions they may have. No need to book, just drop in.
- A visual story will be available for Holiday Club. This includes pictures of the building and our friendly staff.
- Leading Lives and Indigo Opportunity Support Workers: We’re grateful to receive funding from Activities Unlimited to include two Support Workers from Leading Lives/Indigo Opportunities in our Holiday Club Team. These support workers help assist our young people in the studio and at mealtimes and can also support with any personal care needs. We also have brilliant assistant dance artists that can provided 1-2-1 support to young people.
- Quiet Space: This is where our young people can have a breather with some fidget toys, blankets and bean bags if things get a little too much. They’re welcome to use this space any time.
