NGU Dance Clubs
We are delighted to have partnered up with NGU Dance, based at AirHop (formerly Jump Street) in Chelmsford to offer these fantastic dance and movement sessions to children and young people, ages 6 – 18, with additional needs and disabilities.
Nina from NGU Dance has been working with children with special educational needs for over 15 years, traveling around lots of schools teaching different movements, dance abilities and helping the children have fun when they are learning to dance. Plus, all sessions are supported by our highly qualified, knowledgeable and experienced team of specialists and expert staff.

Every Friday throughout the school term you can enjoy:
NGU Movement (ages 6-12): 5 to 5:45pm
