Learn new skills, have fun and make a difference in your work Early Moves In partnership with NHS GM and the Greater Manchester Combined Authority, we’re offering early education practitioners the opportunity to develop the skills they need to lead dance sessions in early years settings and support young children with their physical development. Over 12 months, nursery practitioners will receive: Two half day training sessions with Rambert A trip to see a Rambert performance A movement workshop with a Rambert dancer Monthly refresher and support sessions with a Rambert specialist team member Celebration event for all practitioners Our next cohort of practitioners will begin in Autumn, and applications will open again in the summer. If you’re an early years practitioner or a nursery manager working in Greater Manchester and would like more information, email [email protected] or register your interest here. Hear Emily, Ivie and Tori from this year’s cohort talk about their experiences so far below. The children are really engaging with it .. the ones you don’t expect to have really engaged. We’ve got one child with English as an additional language who is not as verbal as some of the other children, but she’s starting to say words during the sessions. She’ll say ‘stop’ and go’ during the warmup, which is real progress for her. There’s another child who doesn’t engage as well in a lot of activities, but he is really engaging in everything and taking everything in. Tori, Happy Kids Altrincham
