Yesterday Emma joined other dance specialists who are members of People Dancing's Early Years network to learn together & support each other as the world is transitioning towards some sort of 'normal'. Thanks to Liz Clark & Peppy Hills for being at the helm 🤩

A fantastic inclusive resource written by Emma Splatter Dance based on the book “While we can’t hug” for the One Dance UK Education Bulletin

What mood are you in today?

We have a free download Makaton symbols and line drawings of signs to help support talking about mental health available from The Makaton Library. It’s free to join via rb.gy/efzq1g

So true - the benefits of #dance #dance impacts #InternationalDanceDay2021

It can be difficult to find the words to describe how we think or feel or to talk about ideas.

Dance helps us express things we don't have the words for, helps us to make sense of things & leaves us calm, relaxed & feeling good.

Feedback from the parent of a child who sat behind the curtain for the first 6 weeks that he came to classes. It is possibly one of the most heart-breaking & yet amazing comments, & shows how dance really is about more than dance.
