Dance Passion prides itself on it’s sound knowledge and teaching skills in all areas of dance. Clare is a fully qualified primary school teacher and has been teaching dance since an early age.
The ‘Spanish Days’ primary school dance workshops take the format of a demonstration of the Paso Doble by Miss Clare Roberts and her dance partner. Children will then be treated to workshops on the famous dance The Paso Doble based on the demonstration. All primary school workshops start with short warm-up, in preparation for the main activities of the lesson. Children will learn the history of the dance in a fun, lively, creative and friendly environment. Pupils will learn basic Spanish such as numbers 1- 8, right and left, boys / girls and instructions suitable for dancing. They will be taught figures of the dance working on the characterisation of the Paso Doble. They will also have opportunities to talk about, explore and play with dance and movement ideas. The children will be given specific guidance on choreography as well as general feedback and praise. Individual workshops last 40 minutes.
I am a dedicated teacher with a continuing love of dance and I always focus on individual children’s skills, needs and challenges by valuing them as individuals. My expectations of pupils are high in that I encourage them to attain excellent standards of dance by giving motivation through my own high standards. I thoroughly enjoy teaching and I am confident that I will make your Spanish day workshop a great success.

Dance Passion really made the culture come alive, brought a real wow factor to the conference and showed teachers how they could use simple language in a very enjoyable creative way. It was amazing to see everyone up on their feet and dancing
