Education

We deliver a wide range of high quality workshops tailored to suit your needs within and outside the curriculum.  For more details about the educational projects we have undertaken, click on the links at the bottom of the page.

We can offer:

• one-off workshops
• after-school clubs
• INSET training
• performance projects
• choreographic residences, repertoire and dance technique.

We have extensive experience working with different ages and abilities ranging from nursery age through to University, including special schools and Pupil Referral Units. All our workshop leaders have teaching experience and are professional artists, CRB checked and some hold post-graduate teaching certificates.

"Excellent in monitoring the pupils in the development of team work and thinking skills. Provided the teacher with a good range of ideas and further extension work. Encouraged the pupils to take pride in their performance. The pupils were enthused and proud of their work. They were very keen to participate. The performance was superb. The pupils loved participating and watching the work of other schools and the company. The piece was very relevant - it gave the pupils hands on experience of what inclusion means. It consolidated what we integrate into other curriculum areas. Very professional and well organised. I would highly recommend FRONTLINEdance. I've praised their work to others." Junior School Teacher

"Having worked with FRONTLINEdance before, I understand the benefits that working with the company can do for the school and staff development.  We gained a great deal of experience from working with the company and the support they gave.  Would welcome the opportunity to work with the company again on a personal level to gain further skills and knowledge”.  Springfield Special School

Having FRONTLINEdance come and teach in your school has many benefits, such as:

• bringing professional dance directly into the school environment
• developing teacher confidence within unfamiliar artistic spheres
• introducing new teaching strategies, including planning, development, delivery and new methodology
• providing technical, performance and choreographic skills
• providing new opportunities for collaboration between artist and teachers
• offering wider opportunities of involvement for parents and governors
• building the school's public profile (through media coverage)
• enriching the curriculum building cross-curricular links

FRONTLINEdance have been present in almost all special schools in Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire over the last 8 years from one-day workshops and after-school clubs to regular work and development.
