SNAZZY MARACAS is an Early Years Music project for children and their families and carers in the Teignbridge area. Thanks to a grant from Youth Music and in


partnership with Friends of Surestart, Snazzy Maracas, led by musician, theatre practitioner and drama therapist Sarah van Veen, will take music, singing, instruments, rhythm and rhyme into nurseries, parent and toddler groups, pre-schools, libraries and other community settings throughout the coming year – www.snazzymaracas.com


Sarah uses puppets and props as well as her guitar and a large collection of percussion instruments to ensure that first impressions of music making and singing are fun-filled, playful, positive experiences.


If you would like to arrange sessions for your


Early Years setting in Teignbridge please contact sarah@sarahvanveen.com or phone 01626 779232.


We particularly welcome enquiries for group or one-to-one sessions for children with additional needs. Training sessions to encourage musicality in all settings for 0-5s are also available (and free!) to Early Years workers.


A range of classes starting in September take place on Mondays and Fridays in Teignmouth. Places for Under Fives are free but must be pre-booked by phone so classes can be kept small.

EVERY adult and child has amazing creative potential and the new dance classes offered by Anna Leatherdale (MA, LLAM) provide the ideal introduction to creative movement. Drawing on a wide


range of dance styles including contemporary, jazz, ballet, bollywood and musical theatre, participants gain the opportunity to think for themselves as they explore new movement, learn to develop and control the way their bodies move and gain valuable life skills including self- confidence, motor co- ordination, rhythm, discipline and imaginative problem solving.


All classes, whether for adults or for children, introduce new skills, keep the body and mind fit and active and provide the opportunity to meet people and have fun.


‘I’ve been very


fortunate,’ said Anna Leatherdale a former pupil of Barbara Spencer- Edwards, Devon Dance’s director.


‘I was introduced to a


range of different dance styles when I was a child growing up in Teignmouth, and it’s


enabled me to have a varied and interesting career. After training in London I went on to perform and teach in countries across Europe, and the confidence and breadth of experience I


gained through dance enabled me to work in a range of different jobs.


‘I’m delighted to have


gained the opportunity to return home to Devon and pass on my passion for dance.’


Children’s classes are held at the new Teign


Heritage Centre in Teignmouth while adult classes in a range of dance forms from Tap to Argentine Tango take place across the county. For more information visit www.devondance.co.uk or phone 01626 873178.
