Professional dance in the community
Torch Theatre Summer School
Running since 2009, our popular annual summer school at Torch Theatre is open to all and is focused on offering affordable access to high quality creative experiences led by professional dance artists to the community in Pembrokeshire. 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...

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 three groups based on age but will ensure everyone gets supported and challenged. Alongside the 6 professional artists who will be leading the classes and workshops, we will also have a support artist to help anyone with access needs. 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 6 years and up, and we welcome adults of any age.
Joon bugs- ages 6-10
Jooniers- ages 11-17
Joon community - ages 18-100
