A huge thank you to the Mapdance company, from the University of Chichester, for its fabulous whole-day workshop and dance show.

In the video, students talk about how they were taught during the workshop and the experience of then performing in front of a live audience at the University.

Thanks to Mapdance for inspiring our students once again!
