Educational Black History Month Workshops

Our workshops provide more than a dance or music activity. They give pupils an opportunity to experience culture through active, creative learning.

The practical nature of the workshops helps bring cultural learning to life and gives pupils an opportunity to take part rather than simply observe.

Enhancing School Curriculums and Extracurricular Activities

Black History Month Workshops complement school curriculums by providing students with opportunities to explore themes of diversity, equity, and inclusion through the lens of dance. By incorporating dance into Black History Month celebrations, schools can create inclusive and empowering learning environments that promote cultural understanding, social justice, and global citizenship.

Assembly and Showcase: Celebrating Black Excellence

Our Black History Month Workshops culminate in a special assembly and showcase where students have the opportunity to share their newfound knowledge and skills with their peers, teachers, and families. These events provide a platform for students to demonstrate their creativity, talent, and cultural pride, fostering a sense of community and celebration within the school.

TESTIMONIALS

We had the pleasure of Vivian visiting our school to deliver a multicultural week of workshops to our infant's school children, nursery to year two. The children thoroughly enjoyed the workshop, Vivian was extremely professional and very knowledgeable about the events and the styles of dancing. We were so impressed with Vivian, that we then booked another workshop in the same term. Vivian, upon his return, again was outstanding. The children were very lucky to have been taught by Vivian.
