Teacher's Notes - Autumn 2009

Dance Workshop will help inspire your pupils to put together whole dance sequences, from first steps to final performance. The series provides ample opportunities for pupils to follow step patterns and to build their own dances based on material in the programmes. It's an ideal resource for supporting the PE / Expressive Arts curriculum for top juniors.
