A Social Enterprise – DDMIX for Schools Dance Mix for PE by Dame Darcey Bussell DBE
DDMIX for Schools Dance Mix for PE is an inspiring dance program that gets kids moving.
Training is provided along with Schemes of Work for KS1 and KS2 to enable every teacher to deliver straightforward, fun and active PE lessons.
Movement to music makes children come alive and changes the way they feel. With the DDMIX program, kids get an exciting and diverse learning experience that is physical, aerobic and high time on task.
These benefits should be enjoyed by every child. Dance fitness can stimulate the child’s interest in sport, in the arts and give them the confidence to explore their own creativity in other fields.

Connect – Pupils working together, sharing ideas and gaining creative confidence
Be Active – High time on task, simple to deliver with fun active learning activities
Take Notice – Children take time to watch one another and appreciate the different ways our bodies can move
Keep Learning – Discover and sample dances from different cultures and eras through time.
Give – Taking time to feedback on the creativity of peers. Use movement and music to perform for others.

The Key Stage 1 sessions are aimed at developing the key skills and elements of dance, introducing many themes that can be cross curricular.
In Key Stage 2, DDMIX dances are incorporated and used to develop their use of dynamics, character, narrative, group formation and many other devices.
Throughout all age groups, students learn set movements to develop their technical skills and have the opportunity to develop their own choreography.
We are excited to announce that our membership now includes online training videos which will provide ongoing support throughout the year.

We completed our first half term and it was brilliant. The children really enjoyed it and I enjoyed teaching it. We will be continuing in the Spring Term. I cannot tell you how much progress there has been since last year.
