Boogie Buddies dance project launches

Boogie Buddies, a new dance initiative from the award winning Glasgowbury Music Group, will launch in Mid-Ulster in April.

Organised in partnership with Derry based Echo Echo Dance Theatre Company, the course will provide an introduction to dance and alternative dance structures for both young girls and boys.

As NI’s leading contemporary dance company, Echo Echo will organise a programme of activity that focuses on building self-confidence and body awareness as well as nurturing their imaginations and creativity.

The groups will play movement games, learn and follow choreography, improvise and create their own dance sequences.

All classes include warming up and cooling down, the famous Echo Echo circle dance and learning about your body and how it moves.

Sessions will be split into two age categories and will take place on Wednesdays.

Classes for those aged 8-11 (Primary School) will operate from 3.30pm to 4.30pm and for those aged 12-18 (Secondary School) will take place from 5pm to 6pm.

For more information and to register, contact Glasgowbury on 028 796 28428 or call into their office in Draperstown.

The Boogie Buddies Programme has been funded through DARD’s Rural Challenge Programme.
