Did you know that Hip Hop Tots also provides workshops for schools? Our sessions can be tailored for older children, 5 years old and up. We still provide great music, energetic routines but a little less of the nursery rhymes.
Delivering dance through the PE and Sport Premium funding
The government has just very recently announced a two year extension to the PE and Sport Premium funding.
The PE & Sport Premium can be used to cover the following types of provision:
- Upskilling teachers to be able to confidently deliver dance activity
- Bringing in dance specialists to deliver additional sessions under the supervision of the
teacher, to expand and deepen the delivery of existing core PE sessions. - To add new breakfast and after-school dance clubs.
- To develop dance performance platforms with other local schools
