Jump In (2015 – 2016)

The Jump In project was targeted at primary schools across Scotland.  

YDance spent five weeks working in a Local Authority, in partnership with the Youth Arts Hub, with classes from six participating primary schools with children aged 7 – 11.  During the five week period the young people worked with a YDance Tutor to create a new dance piece to be performed for friends and family.  From there we ran free weekly dance sessions in the area.

Jump In Dumfries & Galloway

YDance Tutors worked with young people from Achancairn, Borgue, Gatehouse, Kirkudbright (P4 & P5) and Twynholm primary schools to create 6 new dance pieces based around the theme of Rio.  A performance took place on Friday 18th March 2016 at Kirkudbright Primary School, free to family and friends.
