About
Jake from Total Studios – Total Dance, based in Leeds, knows how to get kids moving! Specialising in inclusive dance education, he’s been teaming up with primary schools for the past 2 years, enhancing PE lessons with dance programmes that everyone can join in on.
Jake's mission? To make sure every child can participate, progress, and achieve in sports. With a positive reward system, he’s all about boosting kids' self-esteem, confidence, motivation, and overall wellbeing. His sessions are accessible to all and, most importantly, a blast!
As Total Dance keeps growing, Jake is set on shaking up how dance is taught in schools. His coaches are always learning new tricks to make sessions exciting for both kids and teachers.
The motto at Total Dance is simple: educate, motivate, and get everyone participating. Sessions cover healthy living, biomechanics, and dance knowledge, while confidence-building exercises, fun games, and competitions keep kids engaged. High participation means kids find a dance style they love.
But that’s not all! Total Dance goes beyond school sessions. Jake also throws birthday parties and runs adult dance classes. Events like Ladies Night with pottery painting and shopping from small businesses are a hit too. For kids with special educational needs, he offers tailored classes, and there are even acrobatic sessions for those wanting to learn some cool tricks.
In short, Jake and Total Dance are all about making dance education inclusive, promoting physical and mental health, and ensuring every session is a fun one for kids in Leeds.
