For schools · After-school dance programme

An after-school dance club, ready to run.

Schools running an after-school dance club need consistent, trained instruction — not whoever is free on Wednesday. Concerto sends a vetted dance trainer weekly, covers any combination of contemporary, traditional African or ballet-foundation styles, and ends each term with a parent showcase. You provide the hall; we provide the structure.

Duration

90–120 min weekly sessions

10–30 students

Styles

Contemporary · Traditional African · Ballet basics

Termly engagement

What's included

The engagement, end to end.

01

Full programme delivery.

Concerto dance trainer arrives, runs the session, packs up. No demand on your school staff. Your part is registration + the space.

02

Style flexibility.

Single-style focus (e.g. "contemporary only") or rotating multi-style across the term. Your call at the discovery stage; we staff accordingly.

03

Termly choreographed piece.

Every term builds toward a 3–5-minute choreographed piece performed at the end-of-term showcase. Tangible output, easy to film, makes the programme its own marketing.

04

Per-pupil termly note.

Brief written progress per student — movement vocabulary mastered, presentation readiness, suggested next-term focus.

Frequently asked

For school administrators.

01How does parent payment work?+

Your school invoices parents directly per term (per your normal club fee structure). Concerto invoices the school separately as one termly engagement. You set the per-pupil fee at any margin that works.

02What space do we need?+

A hall or covered outdoor space 10m × 10m minimum, with a smooth non-slip floor. Tile floors are dangerous for dance — we may ask you to add basic non-slip mats for certain styles.

03What styles do you cover?+

Contemporary (modern/lyrical), traditional African (Luo, Kikuyu, Kalenjin, coastal), and ballet basics. We don't teach hip-hop or ballroom — those are specialist enough that we'd refer you elsewhere rather than overclaim.

04What ages can join?+

Ages 5 upward. We split groups by age (5–7 / 8–10 / 11+) so the teaching pace and the social dynamic both work. Above age 14 students often want more structured technique; we adjust accordingly.

05Can the same trainer cover KMF dance categories during the term?+

Yes — common scenario. We extend the engagement window to include extra KMF-prep sessions for students entering the festival, while the regular dance club continues for the broader cohort.

06Are your dance trainers vetted for working with children?+

Every Concerto trainer is background-checked and safeguarding-briefed before working with under-18s. Trainer credentials + prior-school references shared at quote stage.
