We also choreographed the Year 3/4 U.Dance entry on the theme of 'Harry Potter', leading to a performance at Keswick Theatre by the Lake.

We liaised with the class teachers, listening to their needs and choreographing several dance routines for their Year 5/6 children and their production of 'Mamma Mia'

ST JOSEPH'S CATHOLIC SECONDARY SCHOOL

We worked with the Headteacher and Senior Leadership Team to design a workshop that would bring pupils from the local primary schools together through dance. We choreographed a three minute routine and taught this to a selection of Year 5/6 pupils across West Cumbria.
