Dance:
Rural Arts have a variety of dance teachers and practitioners working on our dance and movement programme. They provide a comprehensive selection of workshops ranging from half day sessions, through to courses lasting for a couple of days for choreography and training leading to a group production. Each session is tailored to suit the ability and experience of the group and a large space such as a school or village hall is normally used for the sessions. The range of techniques on offer cover all aspects of dance including salsa, tango, and tap. Listed below are a few of the most regularly requested workshops
