You don’t need to be a dancer to teach dance

Easy for non-specialists
Clear video demonstrations and structured lesson plans mean teachers don’t need a dance background to deliver lessons confidently.

Progressive
Lessons build skills gradually across EYFS, KS1 and KS2, helping children develop movement, rhythm, coordination and performance.

Music built for learning
Bespoke tracks use clear musical structure to help children hear the beat, understand rhythm and move in time.

Creative for children
Children learn key movements and ideas, then use them to create, adapt and perform their own dances.
