Finally on Friday, DRET Sport are delighted to have been given the opportunity by Ingoldsby Academy to work with their artist in residence dance teacher Adam Slepowronski (https://www.mandy.com/uk/theatre-professional/adam-slepowronski).

This is a fantastic opportunity for all of our primary academies to get to work with Adam, and one that I hope many of you will join us for. Adam will do 2 x live dance sessions during the day.

One of these will be aimed at EYFS and KS1 (10:30am), while the other will lean more towards KS2 at 1.30pm. Other year groups can take part depending on their dance experience. In this second session, Adam will look to teach children a short choreographed dance. These sessions can be found on the following links:
