Our dance specialists are used to offering the workshops in French and/or English. They also have a lot of experience working in francophone, English schools as well as schools offering the French immersion program.

We work with students from pre-kindergarten (or junior kindergarten) to high school. The dances that are taught are appropriate to the age and developmental level of your students. In order for us to travel to your school, we usually require a minimum of 150 students; this represents three full days of workshops at your school. The more students you have, the longer we stay at your school! If you have less 150 students, please don’t hesitate to contact us as we might already be coming to another school in your area. It would then be possible for us to integrate your school in our travels and this will enable you to share the travel costs with the other school.

We already offer our dance programs in Québec, Ontario, Alberta and British Colombia. We are used to traveling to the various schools and are open to working with schools in other areas. Let us know where you are located as we can often combine several schools in the same area to help reduce the travel costs included in our pricing.

Special moments experienced by you and your students! Your students will have the opportunity to participate in a fun and educational activity, usually a little different than what is regularly done in class. It’s a great way to observe your students’ dance skills but as well as their social skills. And what a great way to finish off the dance program by seeing your students proudly perform at the final presentation!

Tradansa’s programs have been designed to provide teachers and students dance material as well as various methods to learn and teach dance. Throughout the workshops, teachers can assess their students according to the curriculum requirements. Please do not hesitate to request the documents outlining the different curriculum links for your province.

Often when we offer our workshops, we see some students have a little resistance at the beginning of the first workshop. They are often apprehensive about the idea of having to dance with a partner, or possibly not succeeding. We use strategies to get students engaged and involved in fun activities, accessible to all. We never force students to do something that goes against their culture, religion, gender, etc. The traditional dance is essentially a social activity where everyone is welcomed to participate in their own way, respecting their own capacities.

In general, we look to integrate all students in our dance program, regardless of their special needs. In general, students respond well to our teaching methodology and we like to collaborate with the staff at your school to know how to work best with your students. However, you know your students better than us and their ability to participate; the decision, of course, remains yours.

It is preferable that all the workshops take place in the same space as the final student dance performance. Dance requires enough space to move comfortably and if there are large groups of students in each workshop, your school’s gymnasium remains the best place of this type of activity. Also, when learning dance, students create time-space reference points for each of the dances. As well, to maximize the learning time and to ensure the greatest level of success for the students at the final performance, we greatly prefer that all the workshops and the dance performance take place in the gym.

The final student dance performance involves all students who participated in the workshops. It’s an opportunity to gather with the school community where students have the pleasure to present what they have learned and to celebrate their team work and success. In addition, a surprise is in store for the parents at the end of the show. We will take care to organize the student performance, chose the dances as well as the order in which they will be presented and indicate where each group will be sitting in the gymnasium. The school only needs to take care of inviting the parents (if desired) as well as to see to the set up of chairs in the gym for the guests. During the dance performance, we will ensure the presentation of each of the dances as well as guide the students in their dances. It is common that a staff member likes to welcome guests to the gathering and wishes everyone a great performance.

Every year, our team takes the opportunity to find new dances in our travels, meetings with dances and festivals. We ensure that your students learn different dances every year. We do, however, continue to structure our dance programs in the same way as well as to use our successful teaching methods.
