Presentations

Join Katya Virshilas (Founder & Creative Director of BallroomBees) and Ryan Hammond, Head Teacher of BallroomBees and former South African champion, with a combined 40 years of teaching dance, for an interactive, practical workshop designed to break down the barriers to teaching dance.

We want to develop proactive and inquisitive learners who have strong critical thinking skills.

This practical workshop will explore a whole school approach to wellness through physical activity.
