Don’t miss out on the amazing half term dance workshop offered at Rotherhithe Primary School on Wednesday 1st June 2022 from 10am through to 4pm.
Pioneer Dance, which started in Newham but now runs sessions across London, has grown over the 18 years since it was established in 2004 by Chantal Joseph and now has multiple weekly classes, experienced tutors and almost 1,000 pupils. Chantal Joseph says “I’ve always trained in dance myself and my aim was to make dance accessible to those who maybe don’t have the means to go to a regular stage school.”
Aiming to make dance reachable to as many people as possible while building pupils’ confidence and self-esteem, Pioneer teaches a variety of styles from street, hip hop and contemporary to Afrobeat and Zumba. Chantal, who runs sessions in primary schools, said dance is a good educational tool – an active way to keep young people engaged and interested in what they are learning.
Chantal said Pioneer’s ethos is to ”make dance accessible to everyone in the community”. Young pupils at Pioneer Dance are aged between four and 16, with specialist adult sessions also available. Pioneer is holding half-term workshops this at Rotherhithe Primary School on June 1.
