Join Giving Back Generation’s Summer and Autumn Dance Programme in North London, running from July to October 2026. Children can attend structured Monday and Friday sessions or flexible Wednesday drop-in classes, with activities focused on confidence, creativity, movement, teamwork and performance.
Our Summer and Autumn Dance Programme is a structured youth dance experience designed to help children stay active, express themselves creatively, build confidence and develop positive friendships through movement.
Running from 27 July to 23 October 2026, the programme combines contemporary dance, improvisation, rhythm, choreography, teamwork and performance activities in a positive and supportive environment.
Children can participate in one of two ways:
No previous dance experience is required.
The Full Dance Programme is designed for children who can attend consistently and want to develop their skills over a longer period.
Each session will build on previous learning. Children will progressively develop movement technique, coordination, musicality, creativity, teamwork and performance confidence.
Full Programme members will also work together to create, learn and rehearse dance routines, leading towards a final celebration and informal showcase.
Children will be introduced to contemporary dance, creative movement and the foundations of safe physical activity.
Sessions will cover:
Children will begin developing stronger technical skills and learning how movement connects with music.
Sessions will include:
Children will explore how dance routines are created.
Working individually and in groups, they will develop original movement ideas and combine them into structured sequences.
Sessions will include:
Children will learn how to perform confidently as part of a group.
Sessions will focus on:
During the final part of the programme, children will rehearse and refine the routines they have developed.

Regular attendance is strongly encouraged because the Full Programme follows a progressive structure and each session builds on previous learning.
Wednesday sessions are designed primarily for children who are not enrolled in the Full Programme.
These classes provide a flexible opportunity to enjoy dance without committing to the full schedule. Each session will include self-contained activities, making it easy for children to attend individual classes.
Drop-In Classes are open to all abilities and no previous dance experience is required.
Drop-in sessions may include:
Drop-in sessions are mainly intended for children who are not participating in the Full Programme. Full Programme members may also attend Wednesday sessions, subject to availability.
