Black Country Hub provide a rich diverse, accessible and inclusive programme of dance for children and young people.
We aim to inspire, inform, engage, empower, consult, guide and signpost children and young people to wider opportunities across the arts and cultural sector. We raise aspirations and support young people’s personal growth and development, as active dance participants and new audiences of professional work.
A Posi+ive Life is an accessible, immersive and interactive theatre experience led by six contemporary characters featuring dance, physical theatre, spoken word and BSL interpretation.
Black Country Dance Hub in partnership with the University of Wolverhampton at The Performance Hub Walsall, annually attracts over 200 young people. Participants experience a busy day of dance workshops, discussions and tours to the Marketplace, which features universities, colleges and dance organisations.

Feedback - New Horizons Digital Dance Project
We used this as our PE session last week for our Key worker Y1/2 mix and they absolutely loved it! So now it’s on our Friday timetable each week.Staff also commented on how structured it was to follow and that it’s 100% age and time appropriate – so thank you to you and your team for producing this.

“Wow, wow, wow!
We have accessed a few online dance classes over lockdown and whilst they’ve been great, we just LOVE these BCDH sessions.My children want to do them all the time!! They are fun, thoughtful and the leaders are so likeable and engaging – we can’t recommend them enough and already can’t wait for the next instalment of choreography!

Workshop Feedback
Jodie asked questions to involve the children through the workshop, pausing so they could actually answer. My daughter researched mini beasts just before Easter and so the workshop was so relevant. Jodie has a professional manner which makes the children listen but want to dance like her. The lesson was well structured with movement from the warm up being developed throughout.
