Children & Young People

Children and Young People

Dance City is a great place for children. They can take part in a dance class, enjoy one of our great workshops or dance camps and see inspiring dance performances. We encourage visits and participation by children with additional support needs. Children and young people can also use Dance City to work towards their Arts Award.

CLASSES & WORKSHOPS

We have so many different children’s classes to choose from in many different styles of dance including ballet, breakdance, contemporary and hip hop. Dance is a creative, fun and physical activity that is great for boosting self confidence and co-ordination. At Dance City we don’t teach grades or exams and young dancers learn by age group rather than levels.

If you want to book a dance class but don’t know where to start why not pick up the phone and talk to one our friendly Ticket Office team? They can guide you through choosing the perfect class for your child and get you booked in.

DANCE CAMPS

Whether your child already dances or is a complete beginner all they need is passion and enthusiasm to get moving and have fun during our holiday Dance camps.

Dance camps take place in the beautiful Dance City venue in Newcastle, in professional standard dance studios and a 240 seat theatre – a safe, friendly and inspiring environment. The teaching staff are all experienced dance artists who will support your child to have the best experience – growing not only in dance skills but in confidence and social skills too.

TRAINING ACADEMY

The Dance City Centre for Advanced Training is part of the Department for Education’s Music and Dance Scheme offering a contemporary dance training programme for young people from the North East region who are 10 – 16 years of age.  Entry to the CAT is by audition only, and we are looking for young people who demonstrate exceptional talent or potential in contemporary dance.
