Impact of Youth Dance

Yorkshire Dance are offering free workshops in Leeds, Barnsley and York this March for anyone who works with young people in dance. These workshops have grown out of a research project by the University of Leeds and Yorkshire Dance, working with teenagers and studying the benefits of dance to their health and well-being. The research was funded by Arts Council England and the workshop is supported by CYPDNN.

Fri 1 March Leeds 10am - 4.00pm

Mon 11 March York 4.00 - 7.00pm

Thu 14 Mar Barnsley 4.30 - 7.30pm

Contact Ione Barton at Yorkshire Dance on 0113 2438765 or email ionebarton@yorkshiredance.com

Develop expertise in teaching and leading dance with young people, inside or outside the schools setting. Explore a range of techniques, developed during the process, to support the positive physical, psychological and social impact of your dance practice. A mix of practical work and conversation, the workshops will explain the research findings and encourage you to share your own experiences and skills through peer learning and two-way practical exchange.
