Summary
Fiona Smith, artistic director of Kick Start, is on a mission to encourage more boys to dance. Here, she leads a group of male student PE teachers in a lesson to demonstrate how dance can inspire male students to express their strength, agility and power.
Fiona teaches the group four contrasting movements and then asks the class to work in pairs, building a sequence around the theme of "brothers".
Alex and Mark, two first year student teachers, who are more at home on the rugby pitch, rise to the occasion on their first dance class. Sam, a second year student, says he believes the new PE curriculum offers more opportunities for both pupils and teachers.
Find out more as the student teachers talk about overcoming the stigma of being a dancer, discuss the balance that dance gives to the curriculum and explore the benefits of men teaching dance.

As an ex Brighton Uni student myself I have first hand experiance of the positive work that Fiona Smith does in regards to boys participation in dance. This is an excellent video and should encourage lots of teachers to give boys dance a real go. In my dance clubs my boys dance is nearly better attended than the girls!
I will be starting a new post in september, hopefully I will be able to get the Kick Start dancers to come and give some demonstrations to get boys dance kick started in my new school!
French Videos are very blurred sound is ok
I need to show this to my PE Dept at School! Maybe then we'll get some lads dancing?! Really enjoyed watching this. Thanks.
Fantastic! This video shows just how boys can get involved in dance! fab work!
