Besides Equity, Hazel is a member of the NUT: to quote 'The Teacher', March 2000
".... schools from Hertfordshire to South Wales have
booked NUT member Hazel King's Egyptian dance
workshops. Hazel is an experienced Junior teacher with
eight years' experience of Egyptian folk, urban and
classic dance. She will perform or lead workshops, and
also caters for school assemblies and parents' evenings.
Hazel told The Teacher: "Two Ofsted inspectors
described my workshop as 'good' - but I prefer to get my
references from the children, who have told me they wish
they had Egyptian dance every week."
|
Workshops given in Primary schools (also at secondary
and tertiary level).
Pupils' Comments:
.. "I thought it was going to be really
difficult but there are lots of tricks to it"
... (Paul aged 10)
.. " I'll remember this day for the rest of
my life" ... (Serena aged 7)

Hazel's fellow teachers constantly express surprise and
delight at the response and achievement of their pupils
including those with special needs!
''I was amazed to see children with quite severe behavior
problems concentrating and participating perfectly.'
(Cheshunt)
'They loved it - even the 'tough guys' in Year 6'.
(Aylesford)

Another year group can attend The Show in which the dance tutor and the pupils perform for the final half hour.
The session starts with a 30 minute presentation of dance in
Egypt (Ancient and Modern), followed by 30 minute workshops
for each half of the class. The other half remain with the Class
Teacher using a dance worksheet, or else take part in a
percussion workshop if the Drummer is requested.
80% of Schools are now choosing to book the Drummer. |

Some of Hazel's favourite comments:
"It's like a trip coming to us!''
"Are the teachers paying you well?" |
Some schools make an Egyptian Day of it and really go to town!
