Generation Edinburgh CIC

We are a dance family that look out for each other and encourage our pupils to succeed with their dreams. GE is a safe and loving environment where all attendees whether young or old enjoy themselves and feel accepted regardless of background, or technique in dance. Our school is built on the ‘3Es’: ‘Equip, Encourage and Engage’ to help our pupils grow and excel in dance, as individuals, as a team, and in making a difference in the world around them. 1) Equip GE seeks to bring excellence into our teaching and quality of dance. We aim to bring in the right balance of fun, challenge and variety in the classes that we teach. Regardless of whether our pupils are with us for a term or for some years we seek to equip them with a new skill that will aid them in their journey through life. 2) Encourage Encouragement is something we love to share and grow in our pupils. It’s so easy to look at the negatives, especially in learning something new. We aim to focus on the positives before addressing the improvements or gentle corrections. At times our pupils will watch each other and learn to feedback with two encouragement points and one improvement point. In doing this they learn to build each other up and recognise each other’s individual strengths and giftings. Each dancer is unique. 3) Engage Community is something we care deeply about and we see dance as an opportunity to make a difference where we can. We give pupils opportunities to take part in fundraisers, community projects and shows to teach them that they can help others and make the world a better place. As a dance school we love to liaise with charities, churches and schools and have been involved with SU camps, school projects, fundraisers and outreaches.
