Determined to Dance

For its 18th year, Glasgow City Council Education Services’ PEPASS Team has continued to offer a City-wide Dance Programme to all Primary and ASL schools. This initiative specifically targets primary pupils (P1-P4) and is designed around a central curricular theme—whether that be transport, dinosaurs, the environment or another engaging topic.

Over an 8-week period, accredited dance coaches lead school sessions that introduce pupils to dance, fitness and movement. Each session is structured to build confidence, coordination, fitness, and flexibility, all culminating in a final show performance.

In addition to pupil benefits, class teachers work directly with the dance coaches, gaining valuable insights into dance coaching, choreography and dance fitness. The programme also offers Continuing Professional Development (CPD) training, complete with a structured dance DVD that serves as a step-by-step guide for planning and delivering dance sessions for all ages and abilities.
