North Walkden primary School, Salford

'Border Moves have become a well respected friend of our school. The combination of drums and dance is one that allows all children to get involved. Border Moves work with all our children from nursery to year 6 and I would not hesitate to recommend then to any school looking to enhance their curriculum. It speaks volumes that in a cash-strapped school such as ours, we asked Border Moves back for further work and we already have them booked in for our music week next year'.

Dovedale Junior School, Liverpool

'Border Moves is an excellent experience for children of all age ranges and ability. It brings creativity to the curriculum and allows the children to express themselves in many ways. The children grow throughout the experience and learn a variety of new skills such as dance, music and drama. Above all, the children gain greater self-confidence and co-operation by working together as a team with the end product being a large performance of their newly acquired skills. Many children have difficulty conveying their knowledge in terms od academic subjects. Border Moves enables them to demonstrate their capabilities in a range of ways, allowing all children to be included in a fantastic and trely memorable experience, which they look forward to year on year'.
