Dance Action Zone Leeds (DAZL)

DAZL is excited to welcome back all our schools this term!

We’ve got a fun-filled term ahead where children will be learning Cheerdance, Street Dance, and lots of other exciting dance styles. It’s all about moving, having fun, and building confidence through dance – we can’t wait to get started!

DAZL is currently delivering the Henry Programme to parents and carers at @Co-op Brownhill Primary Academy, creating a supportive and engaging space to explore healthy lifestyles for the whole family.

DAZL has provided 560 breakfasts and lunches to children in the Leeds Healthy Holidays program over the past two weeks. Nutritious meals are crucial for kids as they support growth, enhance learning, stabilize energy, boost immunity, and encourage lifelong healthy habits. #NutritionMatters
