East Riding Youth Dance is recruiting at a venue near you for the autumn term.
Co-ordinated by East Riding of Yorkshire Council, the project includes weekly sessions with professional artists working towards performances each term. East Riding Youth Dance also gives young people the opportunity to learn from the country’s leading professional dance companies in workshops and live performances.
The youth dance groups are based in five areas of the East Riding with sessions for 11 to 13-year-olds and 14 – 18-year-olds. At the end of every term the 10 groups plus the exclusive County Company come together to perform at the biggest Youth Dance Platform in the area.
Weekly sessions will be taking place at:
Minster Primary School, Beverley Tuesdays
All groups start in the week commencing 19 September 2011.
The cost is £35 per term or £100 for all three terms.
