A DAY of dance workshops is being held in Narberth this Saturday (November 9) by the National Dance Company Wales as part of its new Roots tour this autumn.

Stories of rugby, mining communities and passionate love affairs lie at the heart of the tour, which is coming to Narberth on November 22 as part of the national tour.

Span Arts and the Queens Hall have teamed up to bring Roots to the town.

The National Dance Company Wales - fresh from supporting Wales' rugby World Cup squad in Japan by performing its new rugby-themed work - wants to ensure that its work can be enjoyed by all people, in all of Wales, so that everyone across the nation can feel welcome and inspired to try contemporary dance and experience the magic of movement.

Roots showcases four of the company’s favourite pieces made in Wales, including one by Swansea raised choreographer Anthony Matsena. Each is short and dynamic and tells a unique story through dance; exploring relatable themes of Welsh life and culture. Thought provoking and light-hearted, the performances and discussion are designed for audiences of all ages to enjoy. Each dance piece is introduced to help everyone find their own meanings within the stories and followed by a question and answer session to share behind-the-scenes secrets of the choreographers and dancers.

Tickets are now available from the Span Box office on 01834 869323 or online an span-arts.ticketsolve.com/shows/873610089. Tickets are £12/£10/£10 (advance) or £14/£12/£12 (door).

Saturday's workshops to accompany the show have three sessions for different age groups: six to 11; 12 to 16 and 16+. They are suitable for complete beginners as well as those with dance experience. The tutors from the National Dance Company Wales will be teaching some of the dances from the Roots show.
