Professional dance in the community
Chapter Summer School
Ysgol Haf Chapter
Running since 2009, our popular annual summer school at Torch Theatre is expanding to Cardiff, hosted by Chapter. We are focused on offering affordable access to high quality creative experiences led by professional dance artists to the community in Cardiff. Working with a different theme each year, and linked to our professional performance projects, this summer school is totally inclusive. We aim to create a supportive and nurturing environment for people of all backgrounds and abilities to come together, create and perform with us. Scroll down for this year's info...
​
Wedi’i chynnal ers 2009, mae ysgol haf flynyddol boblogaidd Joon Dance yn Theatr y Torch yn ehangu i Gaerdydd, lle y bydd Chapter yn ei chynnal. Mae Joon Dance yn canolbwyntio ar gynnig cyfle fforddiadwy i fanteisio ar brofiadau creadigol o safon i gymuned Caerdydd, dan arweiniad artistiaid dawns proffesiynol. Gan weithio gyda thema wahanol bob blwyddyn, ac wedi’i chysylltu â’n prosiectau perfformio proffesiynol, mae’r ysgol haf hon yn gwbl gynhwysol. Ein nod ni yw creu amgylchedd cefnogol a meithringar er mwyn i bobl o bob cefndir a gallu ddod ynghyd, creu a pherfformio gyda ni.

Summer School 2024 - OUTside in
This year we will be working with the theme of "Outside-In", bringing the outdoors into our studio. We will be exploring different aspects of nature and turning these explorations into a performance on the last day.
​
At Joon Dance we like to say every body is a dancing body! Our Summer School epitomises that - everyone is welcome. We will split into two groups based on age but will ensure everyone gets supported and challenged. Alongside the 4 professional artists who will be leading the classes and workshops, we will also have a support artist to help anyone with access needs and a BSL interpreter with us all week! There'll be contemporary technique classes where you'll learn movement skills and vocabulary, and choreography sessions in which you will create your own movements and ideas to perform in the show alongside the professional artists who will be performing alongside you, our participants.
Age
We accept participants from 11 years and up, and we welcome adults of any age.
​
Jooniers- ages 11-17
Joon community - ages 18-100

Ysgol Haf 2024 - Tu Allan y Tu Mewn
Eleni byddwn ni’n gweithio gyda’r thema "Tu Allan y Tu Mewn", gan ddod â’r awyr agored i mewn i’n stiwdio ni. Byddwn ni’n archwilio gwahanol agweddau ar natur gan droi’r archwilio hyn yn berfformiad ar y diwrnod olaf.
