School Residency Programme

We talk about a residency when Remix Dance Company members spends a week or more at a school teaching dance skills every day and making a performance with the learners with he aim of performing this show in front of the rest of the school and guests. This showing at the end of the residency will be supported by a Remix performance. Teacher training sessions are also offered in integrated dance.
