Jones Bach is one half of our Young Company and is based in Montgomeryshire. After many years just as an annual summer school for Gwyn Emberton Dance, we expanded the project to run regular workshops through the year in 2023 and 2024. This has been made possible with support from National Lottery and Arts Council Wales.
We are running spring and summer workshops at Hafan yr Afon in Newtown and a summer school at Gregynog from 4-8th August 2025. This year the group will make a short work which will be choreographed by our Artistic Director Gwyn Emberton with support of our Dance Officer Eli Williams. Eli Williams is our Jones Bach Dance Officer, you can read a little about her below.
Booking for our upcoming workshops and the summer school can be found above.
Who’s Jones Bach for?
Jones Bach is suitable for young people ages 8 years and upwards. No experience is necessary but just a desire to dance and have fun in a very supportive and nurturing creative environment.

The history of Jones Bach
JONES BACH - the dance workshops for young people in and around Newtown have been going for as long as Jones the Dance (which was formerly known as Gwyn Emberton Dance).
Since 2014, JtD has run its annual summer dance programme for young people from 7 to 18 years of age, in Newtown, mid Wales, with The Hafren and for a few years with Ballet Cymru. We have had teachers from all over the world such as Sweden, Italy and Spain teach on the summer schools with participants being local and also coming from as far as Cardiff, Shrewsbury and Aberystwyth.
