Movin' On Up

Movin’ On Up
Saturday 12th June 2010
Ellen Terry Building, Coventry University
1.00pm until 5.00pm

This is a careers fair with a twist! Young people from across Coventry, Solihull and Warwickshire are invited, along with their families and/or teachers, to come and discover more about future opportunities in dance. So if you know someone who’s between 14 and 19 years old, and aiming for a career in professional dance, or a young person who wants to become a dance teacher or a choreographer, then this may just give them some of the answers they need.

The afternoon will be packed with taster workshops to find out what it’s like to be in an audition, or what to expect if you enrol on a university dance course. There will be talks and Q&A sessions from professional artists, graduates, and current students. And a whole room dedicated to all the information you need to get on in dance; talk to representatives from local training venues, pick up information from dance institutions around the country, see how you can get involved in a local youth group, and sign up to keep up to date with all the latest news and opportunities.

This is an opportunity not to be missed!!!

The whole day will be ending with a Big Youth Dance JAM! Time to prove that it’s not only break dancers that can throw down their moves!

Please feel free to pass this information on to your students/groups/young people that you work with.

To attend the event, please send your details to hduffield@solihull.gov.uk or phone 0121 704 6309. Numbers are limited due to the capacity of the building.
