Propel

A contemporary dance training programme for ages 11-14

Propel dancers 2023-24

The Propel programme is open to anyone age 11-14, for those who want to explore who they are as creative dancers and broaden their experience of dancing.

Propel provides a nurturing learning environment in which we champion individuality, with the young dancer at the heart of the programme. Participants will build their foundations in contemporary dance technique, physical skills and creativity to develop their confidence and dance ability. 

"It was very creative and I got to make great connections with people in the dance community and I got to learn new things and get inspired by other young dancers."  Propel participant, 2024
