Children love learning to dance.
Donahey’s are pleased to offer schools expert Ballroom & Latin American dance tuition during school hours, as part of the dance curriculum and or PPA time.
With the huge popularity of TV programmes such as Strictly Come Dancing, and the Government’s drive to get children active, dancing is currently the fastest growing art form in the country and a fabulous sport for children of all ages.
Dancing develops; Rhythm, Co-ordination, Self-confidence and team building, helping children to work together now and in later life, as well as keeping them fit!
Following a 6-school project with Manchester City Council during 2009, Donahey’s are well positioned to deliver expert dance tuition during school time. 60-minute sessions can be offered to class sizes of upto 26 pupils, each tailored to different key stage levels.
Donahey’s has joined the NHS Changes4life movement, and are pleased to say every Donahey’s dance class counts as part of a child’s 60-active-minutes a day.
Any child can dance regardless of age, shape, size or background and whether or not they have danced before. Dancing has it’s attraction because of the many different styles & rhythms on offer from around the world, Donahey’s strive to teach children the latest styles to the most popular music.
A recent Arts Council survey in the northwest showed dance as the top activity for girls outside school, and now with sports personalities like Darren Gough & Austin Healy taking up the sport, boys are keener than ever to learn dance.
