LONDON BRANCH YOUTH WORKSHOP

Saturday 20 September 2008

Following the success of the Youth Workshops held in Perth, Aberdeen and Bournemouth – the London Branch will be hosting a Youth Workshop on Saturday 20 September. It will take place at a Central London Venue - (see here for up to date details) from 1.30 until 5pm. (Light refreshments available from 1pm). The workshop will be taken by Angela Young.

Angela is the teacher of the London Demonstration Class, and as well as teaching children’s and adult classes for the London Branch, has taught at Spring Fling, Day Schools around the country and a weekend for the San Francisco Branch in Asilomar. She has also choreographed display routines for a number of events and locations including one for the SouthEast Branches at the Royal Albert Hall.

All experienced dancers between the ages of 16 and 35 are invited to attend and – as this event will be sponsored by the Mary Telfer Fund – there is no charge.

The Youth Workshops previously held have concentrated on technique and demonstration work – as well as providing a place for young people from around the country to meet and dance together, whilst improving steps, formations, flexibility and covering. This workshop will have the added focus of working towards providing the display for that evening’s Branch Dance – including all the dancers attending that afternoon (please let Angela know if you would rather not be included in this).

Following the workshop, the plan is to go for an evening meal of pizza together, followed by attending the London Branch dance at St Columba’s Church, Pont Street. (Ticket price £7:50).

If you have any queries including advice on where to stay in London please get in touch with Angela (aady@mac.com ) – or Andrew Kellett (youthcoordinator@rscdslondon.org.uk).
