Need a Dance Teacher?

DAZL work with a wide range of specialist dance teachers. All classes include a warm up, cool down as well as learning choreography and creative elements. DAZL believes everybody has individual needs and our staff are particularly experienced in delivering dance to those considered “challanging or hard to reach” for a variety of reasons. The DAZL team is made up of people from the communities we serve and offers a service that truly reflects the community needs. All tutors have a degree or equivalent experience in dance and all are experienced teachers, however we also have a strong community development ethos where we train local people to deliver dance back into their own communities. These people are called Youth Dance Leaders and are trained by the DAZL team. All staff are DBS checked and using a combination of experience artists and Dance Leaders we are able to provide a very cost effective service for particular projects e.g. working as assistants in large groups or delivering in pairs. Choose from a list of dance styles or if you have an idea for something else then just ask, chances are that we know a tutor who can meet your need!
