    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.
