Jukebox Collective delivers dance and music sessions to schools through Cardiff food & fun programme 2024
This year we took part in the Cardiff Food & Fun 2024 programme, teaching street dance and hip-hop music sessions to primary high school students across the city. Collaborating with 12 schools and delivering sessions to over 900 students.
Food and Fun is a school-based education programme that provides food and nutrition education, physical activity, enrichment sessions and healthy meals to children during the school summer holidays. Starting as a pilot by Cardiff Council in 2015, it has developed into a national, fully funded Welsh Government programme administered by the Welsh Local Government Association (WLGA). In 2023, 175 schools delivered the programme and provided over 11,150 places for children each day that it ran.
“It went really well and everyone took part. Also It was a good opportunity for those students who aren’t that keen to perform as a group.” says Sadaf Kazemian of St Mary’s the Virgin Church Primary School.
2024 is our third year of taking part in the programme. It provides a great opportunity to connect with young people, helping them explore their creativity through dance and music, and sharing a bit of what we deliver all year round in our community classes
“It was something new and challenging to the students, so I think because of that, they really enjoyed it” shares Karim, a Jukebox dance leader
Shoutout to our amazing tutors Darnell, Tarina, Cas, Kai, Joel, Akelah, Teagan, Blessing and Karim for their hard work. And thank you to Welsh Gov, Cardiff Council and all participating schools for organising.
