“I really enjoyed these dance sessions because even when i have had a really bad day i feel excited to dance and when i do i forget about what happened and cheer up.”
‘Starting in your parallel position……..’
Dance classes online!!! Who would have thought that could work!!! Well they do!
“I find it very hard online as I am very shy, I think if we were all in the same room every week I would then get use to it. I enjoy the dancing but I’m very shy to go on the camera.
Facilitated by the amazing Hayley, and in partnership with Dance East, a small group of young carers spent 8 weeks doing it.
At first some cameras stayed on, and there was a little hesitation. But on the 8th and final week, the group performed to invited friends and families.
The young carers all said that they loved it and wished it could continue. You could see them growing in confidence and self-esteem as the weeks progressed.
Thank you Hayley for running such great sessions, and also thank you to Dance East, we are planning on more partnership working with them in 2021, so watch this space.
“I think as I have really enjoyed this dancing club it could be done again for people who didn’t get the opportunity to do it this time – we could also do another dancing club but focused on a different style of dance or focused on how to create your own dances.”
