Propel

A contemporary dance programme for ages 11-14, running Tuesdays during term time.

Propel is open to anyone age 11-14 who wants to explore who they are as creative dancers and broaden their experience of dancing.

Not just a weekly dance class, Propel provides a nurturing learning environment where we champion individuality, with the young dancer at the heart of the programme. Dancers 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
