Dance is the perfect medium to bring people together. It has a positive impact on people’s lives. Above, Isle of Wight College Performing Arts Students and DanceMakers, participated in a workshop created for a celebrating age event. The participants were aged between 14-84!
I can offer one off workshops, a project or a series of dance sessions in community or school environments.
As a former school teacher I also feel ideally placed to offer Continued Professional Development sessions in schools for non specialist teachers who would like to learn more about teaching dance, either as a bespoke subject, or as a tool for teaching other subjects.
“When I initially arranged CPD training with Michelle, many were uncertain of what to expect.
This is essentially because we had not received whole staff CPD before, other staff are responsible for Dance Live and it had become an area in which we were less confident and experienced.
The session was fun, inclusive, practical and we found that ideas were easily applied to planning and delivery. Great links to our curriculum focus as requested and happy staff from start to finish.
Would definitely recommend to other school teams looking to upskill and give dance a new lease of life! “
