“Thank you for a wonderful program that students at our school have grown to anticipate! Older students encouraging the new students and telling them “you will love this!” always lively and invigorating.As a teacher, the workshops are definitely a humbling reminder to teach with that attitude of ‘if it feels right, it is right’, as both teachers and dancers are often so focused on technique and appearance that they lose the self-expression and freedom that makes us fall in love with dance. It’s also inspiring to watch the typical boundaries of movement be pushed and played with, serving as a reminder that the creative possibilities for choreography are basically limitless. On top of this, it is excellent as a teacher to note the ways in which Alice and Andrea create a safe space for dancers to experiment - their interactions with their participants are always positive.Ravenshoe State School was privileged to host Alice and Andrea who facilitated three Dancenorth workshops that inclusively inspired and equipped our prep to year six students in a safe, joy-filled sixty minutes of absolute student engagement, enabling our staff to gain valuable insight and skills in an Australian curriculum aligned, professionally administered programme of dance. ”Teacher Feedback
