Delivered over 12 weeks in a weekly 90-minute session with up to 30 children.

Our practitioners introduce children to street dance and hip-hop techniques, helping them to learn routines and construct songs and empowering them to perform along with understanding how to construct their own songs or raps.
We introduce topics, encouraging discussion and sharing, learning from others and inspiration for creative projects.  
Incorporate our wellbeing tools and techniques to help children develop positive coping strategies to manage their wellbeing
Safe social media education: we help children to understand that social media does not define them and enable children to value their self-worth and understand that you don’t have to be “Liked” to be liked.
