“Musical theatre tells a story and emotions through song, dance and spoken dialogue. Musicals allow a child to feel safe to express their feelings and I believe this type of theatre brings together a group of children like nothing else. Exhilarating, fun and bonding. So many children have sadly missed out on a year of performing or the important experience of a school show and I hope these workshops bring a little musical theatre magic into their lives”

Thursday 5th – Afrobeat is a new energetic, diverse dance style inspired by traditional African music. Pulsating rhythms and colourful sounds guaranteed to put some sunshine in your soul!
Each routine is choreographed with three aims – I want the choreography to feel achievable and for you to leave feeling a sense of achievement – I want you to also feel challenged enough to focus on the dancing and forget about the world outside – I want to put a smile on your face. Some classes focus more on the fitness, some are bouncy, some are more technical and others but each class is independent so you can rock up, enjoy, take what you need from it and forget about it. There is no pressure to remember any moves for the next class, just enjoy then say goodbye and get on with your week.
A short warm up starts the class before gradually, section by section, we develop and learn an achievable, fun, stylish but challenging enough routine. With lots of repeated sequences, you will be able to add in more style and individuality as we run through the finished masterpiece a few times before a simple cool down. The time flies by and you can put in as much or as little as you want. If you are there for fitness, to hang out with friends, to dance, to forget about the cupboards that need sorting, it doesn’t matter.

Then we roll out our mats for a well deserved guided 15-20 minute stretch and relax. Building strength and flexibility, relaxing, reaping the benefits of the dance workout and helping you to leave the class a little less wired up.

“I love dancing so the fun of learning a new dance routine every week and getting a workout at the same time is just perfect. Sarah is lovely, very warm, friendly, welcoming and so enthusiastic. She keeps us on our toes, not just physically but mentally too. It’s the highlight of my week and I just love it.”

Summer Shakespeare Fun! - Wednesday
2021-08-04 11:00 - 13:00 | Youth Centre, Tobacconnist Road, Minchinhampton, United Kingdom
Get your witchy hats, swords and fairy wings ready for these exciting summer sessions at Minchinhampton Youth Centre.

These sessions are focused on introducing the wonderful world and language of Shakespeare to children in a fun and relaxed way. Each session will focus on a different play, exploring the Elizabethan language using some smaller scenes from the play. The children will have the chance to dip their toes into lots of character and voice work through fun warm up and drama games and themed craft activities.
Dazzle is excited to be joined by Kara for these unique summer workshops.
“I have been involved in the arts and theatre for as long as I can remember. I have spent the last three years studying for my undergraduate degree in Drama, during which I’ve had the opportunity to act in a two week run at Edinburgh Fringe, perform in several shows for Minotaur Theatre Company and develop my experience in other technical elements of theatre. Next year I am beginning my Teacher Training course in September to pursue a career in drama teaching. I am so excited to begin this next chapter and really embrace my passion for Theatre in Education!”
