A message from
The Founder
Hello, welcome to Dancing Digits!
I love helping children grow, develop and achieve through the arts. As an advocate for creative learning and an experienced and passionate teacher of performing arts, I regularly experience the joy and benefits that these disciplines have for children.
When I first embarked on the Dancing Digits project research, I was quite excited to find out what impact making maths more kinesthetic would have for school children. There is one thing for certain – children love to move around whilst learning! This, with the recent research in neuroscience tells us that supporting children to learn through their multiple intelligences and with a more kinesthetic approach has many benefits.
Where it began..
Dancing Digits brand is part of Dance Equation Ltd. Founded in 2001 by Rebecca Hart, the company provides UK schools with all kinds of dance services as part of the PE curriculum and enrichment.
We received funding from the Arts Council to research and produce a cross-curricular touring show that helped school children experience maths learning through dance. The Dancing Digit live show was born!
Ever since this first show was created, Rebecca and her team have continuously developed and refined a full learning programme for Nurseries, Schools and parent-child sessions.
Our Early Years Programme
Due to popular demand in 2019, we researched and developed a special programme for Early Years children. Our Dancing Digits classes for toddlers helps children to make positive associations with numbers and shapes before they start school. Our unique pedagogy also helps very young children to develop visuo-spatial skills, coordination, balance and lots more.
