Dance Today - A Show in a Day Workshop for Primary Schools
Step into Wonderland for World Book Week 2025
Imagine the children of your school joining together to perform an exciting, vibrant version of Alice in Wonderland – and the whole process, including preparation, only taking one day!
Perfect for World Book Week or end of term celebrations, your children will work class-by-class throughout the day to explore the timeless Alice story through dance. They are guided by a professional dancer who will encourage them to use their creativity and imaginations, with each session tailored for the age of the children.
At the end of the day, all classes who have taken part come together to share what they have worked on, culminating in an abridged version of the story which they perform to each other, accompanied by beautiful original music and narration.
Working collaboratively, your children will develop their physical literacy, creative expression and communication skills, and experience performing in a way they will never forget.
