PE provision
- Would you love your teachers to be totally confident in delivering dance? [/su_list]
- Is your aim to have full engagement during your dance sessions from children of all ages, abilities and genders
- Would your staff and pupils benefit from teachers have enough time day to day to step back and observe their pupils?
We have been working with schools for over 10 years, helping them to:
- Up-skill teachers by providing children with regular, high quality dance provision (usually 6 week blocks), delivered by an outstanding dance leader
- Provide lesson plans for staff to follow. Plans are designed by trained professionals with Primary Education and Performing Arts backgrounds and are age appropriate
- Offer fun, engaging dance sessions, based around a mix of ‘dance fitness’ and ‘Street Dance’, rather than Ballet or anything too strict, in order to engage all abilities and genders
- Improve the coordination, movement skills and musicality of pupils
- Support the wellbeing and fitness levels of all pupils, as well as focussing on the improvement of self – confidence in pupils
- Take a step back and observe the progress their students are making – “I never get the chance to sit down and watch the class in this way, it is really lovely and it’s making me a little emotional!”
- We can also help with PPA cover
“Bringing Kicks to our school was the best thing we’ve ever done. I have never seen the boys so engaged and the energy of the dance teacher and class control is outstanding. It has been extremely helpful for our staff and they have learnt a lot”
(a happy Headteacher)
Dance workshops
- Do you need to re-engage your pupils in their current topics and find new, innovative ways in teaching them?
- Would your pupils benefit from fun, educational workshop sessions based on International Days? (ie. World Book day, International Dance Day, Children’s Sports week etc)
- Do you need to engage, celebrate and support your gifted and talented children, with workshops targeting children with a higher dance ability?
Get in touch today!
At Kicks we can:
- Offer all year groups new and interested ways to teach their current topics and engage pupils in different themes
- Provide fun, educational breaks from normal school life, by making Kicks teachers available for ‘National Day’ workshops.
- Help schools to show that they are considering the needs of their most talented dancers and help to nurture them through higher difficulty dance provision
“Kicks is absolutely brilliant! The teachers are great and make each session energetic and fun. The children always look so happy…the Kicks teachers really go to great trouble to help boost the children’s confidence and they all show huge insight and empathy for any anxieties. I cannot recommend Kicks Dance more!”
