Hide AdAssistant head Helen Spowage said: “Phillipa noticed some talented children and told them that with hard work and determination they could make dancers of the future. As a Foundation Stage we value creativity and plan carefully to support children’s development in all subject areas including
music, movement and dance.”
Following the workshops, 50 parents and children from Westwoodside will attend the Northern Ballet’s performance of The Tortoise and the Hare at Doncaster Cast Theatre on Saturday.
Mrs Spowage added: “It will be wonderful to see the faces of the children when they recognised the dance steps performed by the professional dancers on stage.”
