                    Abbey Capers Barn Dance Band 
                    provides a fun introduction to traditional English dance and 
                    our folk heritage (including Morris Dancing) in the school 
                    setting. 
                   We are experienced in working with pre-school children encouraging 
                    them 
                    to participate in live music and song. 
                   The children benefit through: 
                  
                    -  Practising listening skills 
 
                    - Keeping time/Rhythm 
 
                    - Learning a special skill they can use another time 
 
                    - Teamwork 
 
                    - Having fun and some exercise! 
 
                   
                  In school, we provide sessions class by class throughout 
                    the course of one day, finishing (space permitting) with a 
                    final session where all pupils meet together at the end of 
                    the day for a grand finale in celebration of the day's event. 
                     
                    An alternative could be an early evening barn dance for children 
                    and families.
