Maypole Dance

Celebrate May Day with our new Maypole dance workshop!

Children learn to work together to form simple patterns through movement and dance, progressing to more complex weaves, before working out how reverse their dance to unwind the ribbons. With traditional folk music and dances including The Gypsies' Tent and The Grand Chain.

Our professional dancer leads the whole class in keeping rhythm, counting steps and creating patterns. Introducing core skills of maths, problem solving and teamwork as well as getting active, this is a great way to remember your school days and herald the arrival of summer.
