In December 2009 Youth Dance Tynedale (YDT) received grants from the Clore Duffield Foundation and Youth Dance England to fund a project titled 'First Inspiration'. The group worked with 4 choreographers to develop physical, creative and performance skills.
In Summer 2010 the company visited First and Middle schools in the partnership to perform work and lead workshops. Young people aged 5 -13 benefited from the project, which for some, was their first experience of contemporary dance. Members of YDT enjoyed developing their skills for dance leadership and performing in various venues and schools throughout the year. (click images to enlarge)
