Dance

At Sherwood, our Dance curriculum forms part of our Curriculum for Physical Education. Throughout the Key Stages, pupils are taught to perform dances using a range of movement patterns. A broad and balanced dance education curriculum is intended to provide for pupils’ increasing self-confidence in their ability to manage themselves and their bodies within a variety of movement. The activities offered and the teaching approaches adopted seek to provide pupils with opportunities to develop their creative and expressive abilities, through improvisation and structured routines. Quality links are made across the Curriculum to support the delivery of our Dance Curriculum.

Each year we take part in competitive dance opportunities through the School Games Dance Competition. Sherwood has built a strong reputation, not only in Preston but across Lancashire, for the high participation, standards and dedication to dance. We are Sherwood!

Dance Auditions 2026-2027

Our children in Y3-Y6 are invited to audition for our 2027 Dance Team on Thursday 24th September. We invite our children to rehearse a short, rehearsed routine, followed by their own choreography. Please see videos below for the set routine to practice at home. No prior dance experience is needed - we encourage all children to give it a go!
