Throughout the year, the Learning & Participation team offers workshops and courses on-site at NSCD, in our local community and further afield across Yorkshire. Some of these are listed here but others happen throughout the year when exciting opportunities arise.
Sign up to our mailing list to be kept informed.
Each year we host a variety of dance workshops and continued professional development (CPD) opportunities for dance artists, teachers and students, as well open sessions for specific age groups.
Examples of previous workshops include:
The Learning & Participation team can also offer bespoke workshop packages across the Yorkshire region. These are designed to meet your project objectives, budget and time requirements, and can range from single workshops to one-off projects or longer-term programmes.
If you are a school the workshops can be linked to the curriculum and to specific topics – we have recently delivered workshops integrating Dance and Science for Primary Schools, supported Arts Week activities, delivered GCSE dance choreography workshops and arranged visits to Riley Theatre to watch our Access, Undergraduate and Postgraduate dance students perform.
Whether curriculum-based, out-of-hours provision or teacher-training, our Learning & Participation team will work with you. Please contact Tom Bowes on participation@nscd.ac.uk to discuss your requirements.

NSCD’s postgraduate performance company VERVE also offers workshops to secondary schools and colleges during the course of their Spring tour. These workshops are based on current works from the tour and include a warm up, repertory and creative task supported with a resource pack for teachers.
