Our extensive Dance Development and Learning Programme takes place in a variety of community and education settings throughout Derby City and the whole East Midlands.
"I just wanted to say what a wonderful event you and your team put on last night. We were very honoured to be part of it. It was both liberating and inspiring for both students and teachers of dance to see what other creative work is happening at the same level. You often feel so isolated in your own school and don't have the excuse or the time to see what else is happening in the county. So thanks you and please pass on my thanks to Laura, Abbie and the rest of the team."
Jo Petch of Frederick Gent School, Derbyshire, following Interface 13 platform (March 2013)"We really appreciated everything you did – the kids had a great experience and were certainly stretched and challenged – Clare and Chris did a great job"
Christine Askew, Gifted and Talented Strand Co-ordinator, Derby City Council"The children loved the dance workshops. Lots admitted afterwards that they had been nervous or not interested, but Chris had changed their minds. It was a great, new and challenging experience. Thank you."
Mrs Ward, Ravensdale Junior School
