New Weekly dance classes for children in Sheffield

Phoenix Dance Theatre is excited to launch the brand-new dance class – IGNITE. Weekly Wednesday classes are aimed at energetic and enthusiastic children aged 11-16 years who want to come together to express themselves through movement. Classes are suitable for absolute beginners as well as for those more experienced dancers. Sessions build physical strength, focus, confidence and dance skills, while offering a clear route of progression through to our pre-vocational training provision – Phoenix Youth Academy.

We offer children the opportunity to showcase their talent and work at regular studio sharings for parents/carers, and at the company’s Summer Dance Platform event which runs at the end of the summer term. Those enrolled in weekly classes have opportunities to perform throughout the year at both theatre and outdoor events. All children enrolled and accepted to the class must intend to attend each weekly session.

These weekly Wednesday sessions run throughout the academic year at All Saints Academy, Granville Road, S2 2RJ

Cost: £25 each Half Term

Bursaries and sibling discounts are available.

Autumn 2nd Half Term: 2 November – 7 December 2022
Spring 1st Half Term: 11 January – 8 February 2023

This short textile course will introduce you to the art of freehand machine embroidery. Learn how to create texture and pattern with thread, transferring images and drawing in a unique way. During the course you will produce lots of samples and be encouraged to collect and explore visual ideas in a sketchbook, developing these to create a mini project of your own design.

There are no formal for this course apart from being 19+. All we ask is that you come with enthusiasm and a willingness to learn.
