Young Creative Spirits
A fun, educational and practical two to three week course exploring poetry and dance culminating in a performance showcasing the children’s work for parents and the community.
On the programme our young creative spirits improve their dance technique, learn and create group choreographies, and partake in creative writing activities that are great for their wellness and enrich their writing, enabling them to eventually create and perform their own profound poems.
On the first half of the course, our young creative spirits learn helpful contemporary dance techniques and exciting dance routines in their dance classes and begin opening up their imaginations, exploring the universe within and around them in new ways, and perfecting their writing skills in their poetry sessions.
On the second half of the course, we cover form & structure to construct our poems and work on their delivery and performance. We also rehearse our dance routines and artistically weave them all together with our written work into a seamless show.
We also offer a lighter version of the young creative spirits programme as a three day workshop, taken within one week, exploring one topic each day, with a showcase for parents on the final day.
Page to Stage
Page to Stage was born from the belief that language learning and performance arts training should be accessible to everyone.
That’s why we offer travelling, inclusive English lessons through dance and drama training - to give as many people the opportunity to effectively learn a new language and experience high quality dance and drama training, with each discipline supporting the learning of the others.
The practical, immersive style of our programmes enables participants to practice and solidify their language learning in a fun, engaging manner that not only provides them with an additional skill but that supports their English speaking, comprehension and memory.
We offer our classes either as part of a two week Dance and Drama for English programme or as one off workshops. Our sessions are open to all ages and abilities and can be taught to up to 30 participants.
Page to Stage sessions are a minimum of 2 hours and comprise of an English language and grammar lesson that will equip participants with the necessary vocabulary and language tools to then engage in dance and drama classes designed to support their language learning and provide technical and performance skills.
Dance
Dance is a fabulous way for children to get moving and ignite their creative spark all at once. The perfect activity for both their physical and creative wellbeing, a sport and an art!
Our dance offerings are rooted in contemporary dance and somatic dance therapy. The expressive quality, story telling ability and grounding nature of these dance forms lend themselves spectacularly to creative wellness and nourishing the whole child, whilst their physical discipline equips children with skills like coordination, musicality, strength, flexibility, balance and teamwork.
We believe that all children should have equal access to dance training and the joyous benefits of the arts. All of our classes are open level, available for all ages and abilities, and can be taught to up to 30 participants at once.
We offer after school clubs, long courses for schools and studios, one hour classes and three hour workshops: You can even book us for your young creative spirit’s party!

Poetry
Poetry is a beautiful unifier of intellect and creativity, of craft and expression, and boasts a boundless array of artistic and technical activities that are great for both sides of our young creative spirit’s brains and their souls.
The technical side of poetry offers a chance to improve children’s English, reading and creative writing skills whilst the creative side provides brilliant opportunity for self expression and learning to think and imagine in new ways.
Our after school clubs, longer courses and regular lessons explore all of these elements in depth, combining poetic technique exercises and creative wellness activities in an evolving manner that advances with the children’s development.
All of our poetry offerings are available for all ages and abilities, and can be taught to up to 30 participants at once.

Children will have the opportunity to explore an advanced range of poetic devices, forms and structures as well as benefit from prolonged engagement in writing, creativity and wellness activities that nourish their intelligence, imagination, emotional state and nervous systems.

Private Classes
Raising a young poet?
Molly Sapphire can mentor, tutor and guide them with fun, informative, interactive one-off or regular poetry classes, online or in-person, to really help them find their voice, improve their poetic impact and enhance their creative writing skill.
Yoga is an excellent way to nourish a child’s physical health and mental and emotional wellness.
The postures and movement in yoga enable children to gain spectacular mobility skills, balance, flexibility, strength and coordination.
The breathwork and meditation in yoga is incredibly regulating for the children’s nervous systems, encouraging mental peace and emotional balance.
There are many yogic chants that are comprised of simple syllables that are also excellent energetically for the children’s nervous systems and that they often find both calming and fun!
Introducing yogic ideas and history to children as we teach is very important to us - we want the children to understand the meaning and have awareness of the lineage of the information and practices from the beginning, so they grow really understanding the importance of these as well as with physical skills and balanced minds.
Yoga

In our weekly after school clubs and longer one-three week courses children are introduced to a large and evolving array of postures, dynamic flows, breathworks, meditations and chants.
Children will not only learn the postures and their names but understand the benefits of these poses and practice routines connecting them together.
