FolkActive: Schools Workshops

Our schools workshops bring local culture, history and traditions alive in active, creative and relevant ways.  We always use live music which adds depth to the experience and encourages creativity.  Most popular are:

• Way Haul Away with sea shanties, informal dancing and music which were all part of everyday life on board sailing ships in the past.

• Morris Dancing offers lively group dances based on traditional moves with scope for being creative: sticks add a great rhythmic dimension!

• Country Dancing is enjoying a comeback, and we’re delighted to help schools with our approach to this high energy, inclusive dance form.

• Maypole Dancing to celebrate the start of summer. It’s a colourful and fascinating experience: great for teamwork and adaptable across the primary age range
