We're excited to be working in partnership with local dance artist Natalie Johns to launch a brand-new youth programme at Forest Arts Centre designed to bring high-quality Dance training to young people right here in our community.

We know that professional-level training in Dance often comes with high costs and long travel to bigger cities making it out of reach for many. Our new initiative is here to change that. By offering expert-led, affordable workshops and training locally, we’re making the performing arts more accessible to talented young people in the New Forest and surrounding areas.

This is not your usual Dance class! In each session, you’ll explore choreographic ideas, develop collaborative dance material, build your technique, and gain insight into professional approaches to dance-making and performing.
