Bare Toed Dance Company creates movement play and dance opportunities for children 0-7 years old. It offers aerial dance performances, regular early years sessions at Dance City in Newcastle, as well as more comprehensive projects that can include consultation, dance sessions, training, creative aerial sessions, research, and performances.
Recent projects include:
- Creating an installation and performance all about sleep as part of the Juice children’s festival at Newcastle Gateshead (this work was based on two terms of research dancing with young children)
- Teaching the curriculum through dance full time for a month as part of a pilot project in Chester-le-Street, Co Durham
- Being part of a research team investigating whether regular dance sessions for 0-4 year olds and their parents can impact on activity and obesity levels
