Dance and Film Making To Make A Difference
Developing Creative Partnerships
We work with dance and technology to provide a unique programme of inclusive learning and engagement for children and young people at all stages of their development.
We can help schools to develop curriculum intent, design and development and delivery of provision.
Our work actively supports schools to meet the requirements of the new OFSTED framework including delivering a broad and balanced curriculum and the delivery of cultural capital.
We are interested in working with schools with a commitment to develop new practice for the benefits of current and future learners. Get in touch to find out how Tuckshop Dance Theatre can help to support you and your learners to make positive choices to prepare for an aspirational future. We want to see young people with a strong sense of identity, connected with and effectively contributing to the world.
We work with dance to explore how dance can offer more diverse learning opportunities. We want to work with schools to effectively promote learning in motion and co-curated place making experiences in a world of differences.
Our schools offer promotes British Values, supports National Curriculum PE Programme of study, and will also meet Maths, English and PHSE learning outcomes.
We strongly value partnership working to achieve collective impact.

Testimonials from schools
"Thank you so much for today! The children were 'buzzing' afterwards.
The children were focussed and totally engaged throughout the whole workshop. Each step towards their final piece was carefully planned and structured but also allowed the children to express their own ideas and movements to work with our theme. Their final 'performance' was totally amazing and very moving! Would highly recommend Lauren!!!"
(Arts Lead, Mottram St Andrew Primary Academy, Macclesfield, Cheshire)
“We have just had the most fantastic dance workshops with Lauren at Tuckshop Dance Theatre. She delivered sessions to our key stage 3 and 4 dance students- and the progress they made in such a short time was amazing. The students really enjoyed learning new movement vocabulary- and they particularly loved learning tricks that they can now use for their choreography. Lauren has an amazing calming presence with the students and it really focused and engaged them from the start! We highly recommend Lauren’s dance workshops- she really tailored the content to what we needed. Thank you!!"
