Based on Northern Ballet’s health and wellbeing project for schools, Rise, join our Community Dance Artist for a half day, practical CPD session to learn how to support your pupils to explore and understand their feelings and motivations through use of characters in dance. During the session you will:  

  • Learn about the methods used in the Rise project and understand the impact on pupils taking part 
  • Plan your own session based on characters from a book, play or event your pupils’ study 
  • Receive feedback, advice and support to develop your dance teaching practice further 

The CPD is suitable for those working with key stage 2 and 3 pupils. You might lead dance or movement in performing arts or PE or may wish to integrate the skills into other subject areas such as English or PSHE. No dance experience is required. 

As part of the session you will receive Northern Ballet’s Good Practice Guide resource to support your safe use of movement and dance at school. 

For more information or to book a place please contact Sam Moore, Head of Learning, at learning@northernballet.com.
