ReCharge
Our first-ever ReCharge event took place 5-6 June. This two-day intensive course, run in partnership with Dance Base and The Work Room, offered experienced and emerging dance artists and teachers, time to come together to reflect on and develop their teaching practice. The programme was a resounding success with a wide range of artists and practitioners attending to connect with their peers across the sector.

Over two days, the course will blend practical workshops with reflective discussions, helping you develop your teaching approach. Key topics include:
The need, context, and landscape for dance
Teaching methodologies and pedagogy—examining the what, why, and how of your practice
Developmental, inclusive, and creative teaching approaches
Working with vulnerable or challenging groups
Safeguarding and trauma-informed practice
Choreographic and creative tasks for educational and community settings.
-
ReCharge will be led by Anna Kenrick (Artistic Director, YDance) and Amy Park (Head of Programmes, YDance).
Together, they will support you in refining your skills and confidence, ensuring that your teaching empowers young people to learn through dance and about dance.
