In partnership with Ballet Cymru, we deliver a fusion of hip hop and ballet to school children at Mount Stuart Primary. Duets is about addressing fundamental gaps in provision for dance opportunities in Wales. Its goal is to reach out, to engage with people and families, particularly those living in poverty and low socio-economic areas in Wales and marginalised groups, and to support people to access dance, regardless of background, finances, race, belief, ability, and gender/orientation.
“As one of the head teachers of the primary schools where a number of our pupils have benefited from this innovative approach, I cannot praise the dedication and commitment of the staff from both companies highly enough. It has been fantastic to see the progress the pupils involved have made, not only in terms of their dance skills but also in the development of their self-confidence and academic performance.”
