SCHOOLS OUTREACH – CAMBRIDGE
“To inspire all with the creative and glorious disciplines of the arts”
Bodywork set up the programme in 2005 after identifying that many young people in and around Cambridge found themselves excluded from the performing arts due to transport or financial difficulties. The aim of Outreach is to involve as many young people in performing arts as possible from the city and its surrounding areas.
Through our team’s hard work, since 2005, participation in the programme has tripled, and continues to grow. Our teachers currently work with over 500 young people every week within Cambridgeshire, teaching a variety of dance classes from Ballet to Street, Contemporary to Jazz.
About the Outreach Programme
The Outreach Programme offers classes in Contemporary, Jazz, Musical Theatre, Street and Tap, teaching Beginners through to Advanced Levels. We are happy to provide schools with an introductory taster workshop to introduce students to the different styles of dance.

“We would just like to say a big thank you for a fantastic evening at the showcase on Monday evening, great to see so many young people enjoying themselves and enjoying dance. Please pass on our congratulations to all who put the show together. On the journey home our young people were buzzing with excitement and satisfaction.Once again, well done all.”
“In September 2008 as Head of Dance at Comberton Village College I began using Bodywork Dance Company to provide after school dance opportunities for our students. During the five years the classes have proved to be so popular with our students we have increased from three classes a week to fourteen. Bodywork offer a full range of dance styles and teachers who are quality professionals caring, reliable and enthusiastic. The teachers regularly give additional time to support our Dance Showcases which have over a hundred dancers and run each term. The classes have increased the level of participation of students in our after school Programme and motivated the dancers to improve their level of fitness. In class the dancers are encouraged to work cooperatively with their peers and take responsibility as young leaders for organizing the dance pieces and the show each term. I can fully recommend Bodywork Outreach Programme to provide enjoyable, quality, motivating experiences of dance to students of all abilities.”
