We come to you! West End Experience Workshops take place in your school hall or gymnasium ideally, or a large classroom.

Our workshops are flexible to best meet your needs, but are normally structured to reach a whole one form entry school in a day. Sessions last around 35-40 minutes, with an optional full-school assembly performance from the facilitator, to introduce the workshops and get the students enthusiastic about what's to come. Each Primary Key Stage is catered for and each child has the opportunity of an ‘In the Spotlight moment’ in the form of a performance for the teacher. We also provide half-day workshops.

We can structure the day around your needs - we can accommodate half day bookings and always allow breaks for lunches etc.

West End Experience Workshop Leaders come entirely self-sufficient including all music and teaching aides, so only require electricity supply.

Not at all! Our West End Experience Workshop Leader will lead simple movements and encourage creative thinking so every child can get involved.

The children can come in their regular school uniform, but we recommend they wear their PE kit. Footwear is not stipulated but we recommend trainers or school shoes rather than socks, as they can become very slippery when the children are burning up the dance floor! Before a Literacy workshop, for example for World Book Day, we recommend the students have covered the book in class beforehand.

Yes. All West End Experience Workshop leaders hold an Enhanced DBS certificate.

It is well documented that children learn in a variety of ways. Physical movement enhances a range of skills, including creativity, teamwork and physical literacy, and can assist greatly with classroom teaching. This article from the British Council outlines some of the benefits of using performing arts to assist education.

West End Spotlight is one of the only providers of theatre workshops that offer bespoke Teacher Resource Packs, containing dozens of ideas for cross-curricular work. Covering STEM topics as well as arts and humanities, there is bound to be activities that pique the interest of your students to support and enhance the dance workshop.

Our invoices are created 1-2 weeks before the workshop takes place, and we normally allow 30 days for payment after the workshop. We can extend this if payment is processed by a local authority or similar. Contact the team for more information.

Just send an email with the preferred workshop(s) and date(s) to education@in-the-spotlight.co.uk and the friendly team will be able to book your workshop
