Senior Summer School: Joy In Motion
Senior Summer School is our HUGE summer workshop where you
can learn drumming, steel pans, brass/woodwind or dance. Join us
for 2 weeks of creative learning, making friends, and Joy in Motion!
Everything builds to a show on the final night for friends and family and
you can join us to perform at Notting Hill Carnival and We Out Here
Festival as well as many other performances through the year.
Dates:
4th - 15th August (week days only)

Extra information:
Steel Pans: If you are joining the Steel Pan section you must have experience of playing a pan before
Brass / Woodwind: If you are joining on a brass or woodwind instrument you must know all the notes, and have your own instrument to bring with you to Summer School
Dance: this section is open to anyone
Drums: our Drum section is samba drums, not drum kit. You don't need any previous drumming experience, but if you have it, that's great too!
*For some people £40 is very reasonable, so if you would like to help someone else to attend and are able to sponsor them with an additional amount we can give you the opportunity to do that when you sign up.
