Sydney Dance Company’s Primary Education Workshop Series engages and challenges students with a series of curriculum-aligned dance lessons, reinforcing the importance of holistic learning through creative movement and dance.

In collaboration with you and your school, we tailor the Primary Education Workshop Series to suit the specific needs of your class, and to meet curriculum outcomes in composition, appreciation, and performance.

Typical delivery of this program is 1x 60-minute lesson per group of up to 35 students, per week over a 4-8 week period during school hours. This structure can be adapted to suit you and your school to ensure the most effective and engaging delivery for your students.

Through a positive, inclusive and engaging environment the Primary Education Workshop Series supports diverse learners in the classroom. This program not only builds skills in dance as an artform but also encourages co-curricular learning, collaboration, critical thinking, curiosity and creativity.

“The teachers were highly professional in their expectations of the students, they were able to share their knowledge, language, and dance expertise that me as a teacher would not readily know or utilise.”
Primary School Teacher, Cranbrook Junior School
