Schools

Studio Wayne McGregor brings the energy and rigour of world-class contemporary dance directly into schools. Through practical, inspiring encounters with the creative processes behind internationally acclaimed choreography, students discover how movement can unlock imagination, sharpen collaboration and spark bold new ways of thinking and moving.

Workshops
Led by Studio Wayne McGregor artists – current and former company dancers and close collaborators in Sir Wayne McGregor’s choreographic practice – our workshops give students an energising, hands-on introduction to the company’s distinctive approach to movement-making. Sessions can include a dynamic warm-up, creative choreographic tasks, collaborative problem-solving and, on request, repertoire inspired by the work of Sir Wayne McGregor.

Every workshop is tailored to the age, experience and ambitions of the group, from Key Stage 1 through to GCSE, BTEC, AS and A-Level. Whether students are taking their first steps in dance or developing advanced performance and choreography skills, each session is designed to build confidence and encourage creative risk-taking.

Bespoke Projects
With more than twenty years of experience working in partnership with schools and colleges, Studio Wayne McGregor creates bespoke projects that are ambitious, flexible and deeply engaging. From intensive residencies and weekly creative programmes to focused performance projects, each experience can be shaped around curriculum requirements, school priorities and the needs of your students. These projects invite young people to think like artists, move with confidence and experience the excitement of creating original work with leading dance professionals.

Teacher’s CPD, Inset Session, and Resources
Studio Wayne McGregor supports teachers through practical CPD, INSET sessions, and resources that share our creative methods and approaches to choreography. Training can be delivered as a twilight session, half day or full day, equipping teachers with fresh ideas, practical tools, and the confidence to bring imaginative movement-based learning into the classroom.
