The group facilitated a session together for our Move Easy participants as part of an ongoing teaching exchange we have.

They did an excellent job and everyone enjoyed their session very much, especially their choice in music!

Well done to all of the students and thank you to Sophie for organising 👏🏼

Our participants look forward to this exchange every year and they’re always delighted to have the students take the time to be involved and interested in what we do, it means a lot.

The other week we had the 2nd year students at Dance City lead a disco themed session for our participants! 🪩

It was a very special afternoon sharing our collective love of dance and sharing our practice together.

Thank you for your hard work in carefully planning a fun and engaging session, We loved it!
