Education

leithsmanagementagency — Fri, 29 Dec 2006 20:47:47 +0000

Leith’s Dance lives and works in a multicultural society in which dance is a key expression of culture.
Leith’s operates on the assumption that the richer the fusion of cultures within society, the richer, more interesting and more relevant the dance can be.

Leith’s uses this policy as the starting point for encouraging participants to develop belief in themselves. Leith’s also serves as a role model for all the participants in a workshop by giving them positive attitudes towards each other regardless of such matters as gender and race, without any segregation through dance. There are no restrictions on taking part in Leith’s workshops, which are based on an insistence that everyone is involved without denying that some participants will have a greater ability and/or natural aptitude for
Leith’s ideas of dance and choreography.

Leith’s takes its educational work very seriously and is strongly committed to taking the best professional artists out of the theatre and into the community, involving young people, adults, and college students through direct participation in our education work.
Leith’s undertakes up to 20 weeks per year of educational residencies. A dedicated and experienced team of tutors guarantee a very high standard of teaching, and participants invariably warm to
Leith’s charismatic and uninhibited style of teaching. As a result,
Leith’s workshops are in great demand. Over the years,
Leith’s has worked with age groups ranging from 6 – 60 years old, including those with special needs. We mainly work in schools and colleges.
