Lincolnshire Dance

Last week, Dance4Life worked alongside the Prince's Trust in Spalding as part of the NEETs 12 week team challenge.

For a week, a group of young people between the ages of 16 - 24 who are categorised as NEETs (not in employment, education or training) worked with the Dance4Life team to help devise an original dance piece and teach it to a class of year 5 children at Whaplode C of E Primary School.

The week was just part of the 12 week challenge which helps the local team to build their confidence, develop their skills and work with each other and other groups from all walks of life.

The team fused their ideas and skills, created the choreography to Olly Murs 'Heart Skips a Beat'  and taught it to the children. They class focused on the chorus and the team on the introduction and verse which they then brought together. The children then performed to the rest of the school on the Friday.

The Dance4Life apprentice Alex Law said: "We were very privileged to work with young people who have such a strong passion for developing themselves and helping others. We had a fantastic and rewarding week and everybody was really happy with the end product. Both the team and the children should feel incredibly proud of themselves.

The team concludes their 12 week challenge this Friday after a final presentation which will celebrate their achievements throughout.

Congratulations to all involved!
