​The Premier League-funded Kicks programme is focused on engaging young people aged eight to 18 within their communities and active in sport.

Already this year it has offered the opportunity for the Foundation’s Premier League Kicks Council to plan and deliver Social Action projects, which saw great success with its Protect the Planet challenge in August.

​As part of the programme, the Foundation will now host a dance group in the Broadfield Stadium Innovation Electrical Suite in association with Dancehub’s Y.E.S Project (Youth Empowerment by Street dance).

This will be for those between the ages of eight and 18 looking to get into dancing, learning something new and being active.

The sessions will begin on Tuesday, October 24, and are open to all – regardless of ability.
