Echo Echo Kids Classes
In Echo Echo we believe that kids are naturally poetic in movement and haven’t forgotten the simple pleasure of dancing. We craft a rich, vibrant, non-competitive environment to stimulate creativity and imagination in movement. Classes will explore various movement themes in solos, duets and group improvisations. Set material emerges from these improvisations, allowing us to co-create and perform together.
Join the highly experienced dance artists of Echo Echo Ensemble for this 8-week course leading to a sharing performance for family members!

About Echo Echo Kids Classes
Echo Echo's classes for children are open to boys and girls and include warm-ups, movement games, structured play, following set choreography, and improvising and creating their own dance sequences. There is a focus on building self-confidence and body awareness as well as nurturing their imaginations and creativity, and classes are totally non-competitive.
Echo Echo Kids Classes are fun and creative, and a great way to develop social skills and make new friends. Children will get the chance to perform in Echo Echo's studio theatre to show family and friends what they have learned and created. Past Kids Class participants have taken part in full Echo Echo productions like The Chess Piece, Without and Walk By.

Parents feedback from previous classes
My child has grown in confidence in larger groups since coming to Echo Echo dance and movement classes.
She enjoyed every aspect of the classes; she also enjoyed making new friends.
(The classes) helped with his shyness.
Very impressed by the organisation and the teacher to student ratio is excellent.
Wonderful to see such freedom in movement and so much creativity and enjoyment! Keep up this important work!
The dance movements were all wonderful and the circle dance was one of her favourites.
