“All the children in our school. from Nursery to Year 6, took part in Popdance classes and then joined together for a massive “flashmob” in the school hall. It was a fantastic culmination to the activity that really got our children enthused about dance. “Baggy Trousers” will never quite be the same again!”

"It was so fabulous! The kids loved it and I've had lots of positive comments from the parents. Dani was also brilliant! Looking forward to today's session!

Frequently Asked Questions

Do our staff need to have experience in dance to be able to teach Popdance within our school?

No. Obviously it does help if they enjoy dance or have experience, however the choreography is simple and easy to teach plus we encourage involvement from the children in terms of coming up with their own choreography – so there’s a whole section where the children do a lot of the work too.

Does the package limit us to only one member of staff accessing all the materials?

No. All of your team at your school can have access to the materials. You will be given a school login which you can share with your team members, who can then access everything they need from their laptops or mobile phones.

What kind of training will our staff be given?

We have an online training video which your team can access on their laptops or mobile phones, and they can watch at their leisure. They will also be invited to ask any questions and they will have access to our Popdance Team if they need any additional support or advice at all.

If you prefer, as an additional option, we can provide a Popdance Teacher to run a session for your team, or to demonstrate how it works with your students.

If we choose to run an after school club or breakfast club, is there any support with promoting these classes within the school?

Yes, we have digital flyers that you can share via email to your parent database, as well as additional things like stickers and Achievement Certificates if you wish to use those. There are also handy activity sheets that you can share to keep the children entertained in the holidays – we’ve got Easter, Christmas and Summer ones currently available.

Is there a set format that we need to stick to?

There is a format to the classes which we would advise you follow as it’s tried and tested and very successful. However, you do have free reign to choose which tracks and choreography you want to use – so your team can look at the choreography videos prior to the classes to see which choreography they are comfortable using and demonstrating. Also, if your participants like specific tracks or a particular artist, you can choose choreography to those tracks. So classes can be fully tailored to what your participants want and enjoy.

Do you provide the music?

Licensing rules do not permit us to provide you with the music, however, spotify or similar is the perfect solution.

Can we play the choreography videos during our sessions?

Yes, absolutely. So if your team feel comfortable with having the choreography videos playing on the whiteboard for example, that is no problem. The children can then see what the routine consists of and you can stop and start the videos accordingly.
