Project - Move It!

This project unites young people of different ages, from different backgrounds and of both gender and gives them the opportunity to create a superb show of dance that culminates in a high profile show that is showcased at a major sporting venue.

The project begins with an audition event that identifies young people with potential, positive attitude or outstanding talent in dance. From this process the overall number of performers are selected

Once selected the participants will take part in a 30 hours of workshops over a five-day period in a school holiday (or after school over 2 weeks) at a central venue. The workshops work to unite the group and develop strong common goals and build teamwork. The participants will learn about the importance of warm-up and most importantly will learn particular dance styles and routines. The workshops will include master-classes where particularly talented pupils will be-able to showcase outstanding talent for a number of solo / small group slots that will be included in the final show.

The project culminates in a final show. This will take the form of a pre-match entertainment showcase for a local high profile sports club. The concept being that pupils will get the opportunity to showcase their work in a high profile environment, in front of a large live audience and be involved in a professional commercial situation.

Additionally there are 2 media days in the project where up to 25 students each day will work in written and visual media. They will write and issue a formal press release, host a press conference complete with live media and members of the partner clubs playing, coaching and / administrative team, ands also work on camera, sound, light, script, drama and presenting a fly-on-the-wall video documentary of the project, that is then professionally edited and produced and each member of the whole project receives a copy as a memory of the experience
