"Our staff have really enjoyed using them and found them to be a great support. The pupils love them particularly as we link them to their topics.”
“Kids are loving it and it's helping me teach dance with confidence as well as securing their understanding of the topic.”
"I have thoroughly enjoyed delivering Dance Notes, and the children have certainly had enhanced PE lessons.”
"As soon as I came across this package I knew it was exactly what I have been searching for."
"Perfect! I have no hesitation at all in recommending your helpfulness and resources"
"The notes are really clear and helpful with room for expanding or changing it to suit and I like the gentle progression and development each week."
"I've been a Primary school teacher for 10 years and never followed a dance program or even danced before but I'm in the middle of the hall each Friday and joining in!!”
"I LOVE them!! The lesson plans are all there for you, and the additional notes are so useful. We should definitely share them with everyone else.”
We have found dance notes really useful thank you. Linking to the children's learning in the classroom has helped to engage them and we have also found the boys much happier to join in.
"They are well structured, sequenced well and include the technical vocabulary we all needed to ensure we are teaching high quality dance to our pupils."
"The lessons and music have gone down really well and the lesson plans were easy to follow and certainly increased my confidence in delivering dance.”
"Thank you for the dance notes - they're fab! I'm using them with a Year 1 class and the children (and myself!) are loving the music."
