-
We deliver Discover Dance sessions on tour
-
it's a great way for young dancers,
-
families and schools to get a quick taste
-
of what it's like being a dancer; and also
-
to get the experience of dancing on a stage with us.
-
As part of a Discover Dance session
-
you get to see the Company do a sample class
-
either ballet or contemporary, as we would
-
do every day in the studio.
-
The young people get the chance to join
-
us on stage and try some of the warm up
-
exercises that we do.
-
We also teach snippets of the pieces of dance
-
that we tour around Wales, the UK and the world.
-
We then perform a short piece at the end
-
of the session with full lights, costume
-
and sound, so they get the full
-
NDCWales experience.
-
After we have performed one of our pieces
-
we hold a question and answer session Q &A session
-
where the audience can ask us anything they want like.
-
We get some really interesting questions
-
ranging from 'Who was your inspiration
-
when you were dancing?' to
-
'Have you ever fallen over on stage?'
-
and its really nice for the young people
-
to ask and discover what it's really like for dancers
-
and hopefully be inspired
-
to venture out on a dance journey themselves.
-
Discover Dance is a brilliant way for audience members
-
to experience dance in a different way,
-
not just a spectator but as a participant as well.
-
We'd love for you to come along and Discover Dance
-
with National Dance Company Wales.
