The Seiners Dance is adapted from the Newquay Heva Dance for use in classroom or ceiligh situations. This dance is great as an introduction to steps and working with a partner. The Heva Dance celebrates the seine fishing industry in Newquay, Cornwall.

Cornwall Heritage Trust Cornish Dance in Schools Project: Cornwall has a rich heritage of traditional dance which reflects its social history and industrial geography. The aim of this project is to introduce beginners to these dances. Previous knowledge though helpful is not necessary.This pack is designed to help teachers engage children with Cornwall’s dancing tradition. There are eight dances in this pack which are selected and adapted to teach children basic steps and patterns of Cornish dance. Each dance in this pack has a set of dance instructions with music score; a video of children performing the dance; and an audio recording of the music for teachers to use with their own pupils.
Project Lead: Alison Davey
