Streetdance

The Street Dance course gives young people the chance to get active and learn the contemporary street dance moves they see in music videos. Participants learn, sweat, have fun and work together to choreograph and perform a final piece. In a programme of activities for young people, this course goes well together with Music Video Production as the participants can perform the dance piece in the video.
