Our weekly Youth Dance classes
Our weekly classes are open to anyone, there's no need to audition. These classes are designed to help young people develop skills and confidence, with regular opportunities to collaborate with guest artists, make new dance and take part in performances.
If you have any questions, would like a free taster or a chat, get in touch with Clare Wood. She'd love to hear from you!
Horizon Youth Dance (12-16)
Wednesdays 5.45-6.45pm, Horizon Hub, Midland Road, Worcester, WR5 1DS
For creative and imaginative young people, Horizon Youth helps build confidence and develop skills in a sociable class, focusing on contemporary technique and creativity to produce collaborative dances with a different focus each term.
Clare Wood, Head of Creative Programmes
Our youth dance programme nurtures, supports and trains young dancers through all stages - whether dancing for fun or looking for a career in dance.
We support young people to get into dance, helping develop skills and confidence, and providing opportunities to perform and collaborate. As well as developing contemporary technique and choreography skills, there are lots of opportunities to perform throughout the year often in unusual and outdoor spaces, and to work with guest choreographers and dance artists.
If you’re an organisation working with young people, we'd love to talk to you. Contact Clare to arrange a time to meet.
The progression of our youth dancers
Previous members of our youth companies have gone on to train at Trinity Laban and Northern School of Contemporary Dance and many are now working as professional dancers and choreographers or in the wider arts community.
