ALL THINGS DANCE!


The History of Dance – A Multi-Media Film Project
A dance project with a difference! 




Walsall YOF have funded this fantastic project that will give young people in Walsall a chance to delve deeper than deep into the History of Dance and create a super multi-media film fusing photogrpahy, creative writing and movement to create a a resource that captures their experiences and shares their new found knowledge.

The project will explore dance styles and genres through a range of periods from across the world!

"From Jazz to Ballroom; Belly Dance to Street!"


We’d like to explore how dance has influenced people’s lives throughout the ages and how it has a huge place in nearly every culture across the globe. No matter what colour, creed, religion or race – DANCE touches peoples’ lives!

If you're interested in getting involved or you'd like to find out more - get in touch! We'd love to hear from you! Call us on 01902 307000!

Bentley Drive Victorian Project

BENTLEY DRIVE SCHOOL - CREATIVE PARTNERSHIPS PROJECT!

Urban Voice has been selected to deliver an exciting new Creative Partnership Project in Bentley Drive School, Walsall!


We'll be digging deep to help pupils unearth a wealth of new knowledge about the Victorians whilst developing pupils' abilities in a range of writing styles that explore life in the past!



Pupils will develop their writing skills through a range of creative 'bites' including actors-in-role, visual artists and wacky writers!

The end result? An educational resource that will be a fantastic keep-sake for participants, but that can be used by teachers and pupils in years to come! It'll be fun, comical, informative and visually inspiring!!!
