In this documentary, go behind the scenes with school students and youth groups as they take part in Making Moves. This new choreography and performance project saw young people across England connect with some of the world’s most exciting choreographers through specially designed dance toolkits.

Taking inspiration from these toolkits by award-winning artists Oona Doherty, Jordan Douglas, Dannielle ‘Rhimes’ Lecointe and Alesandra Seutin, the young people then created their own dance pieces. Watch their journey as they learnt to choreograph and find the joy in making moves, ahead of performing their pieces at venues across the country.
