On Wednesday 19th June we’ll be live-streaming an interactive dance fitness class, led by Dame Darcey Bussell DBE, to UK primary schools….and you can join us for FREE!
Your pupils can celebrate the joys of dance and movement with schools from all over the world, in a fun, inclusive and free session. Register below and we’ll send the details of the live stream, and how your school can get involved!

“Movement to music makes children come alive and changes the way they feel. Dance fitness can stimulate the child’s interest in sport, in the arts and give them the confidence to explore their own creativity in other fields. I’m incredibly excited to be joining schools all over the UK with a live dance lesson, I hope you’ll join me!”

Dame Darcey Bussell, DBE
