Three full days of fun dancing with live music, made to suit all abilities – and no previous dance experience necessary!
Explore creative movement and related arts in a supportive, safe, and stimulating atmosphere, with breaks between each task. Activities are explained clearly and cater for individual needs. Accompanied by live music from either a professional pianist or drummer, participants are supported to contribute ideas and take part in decision-making.
It’s a great chance to have fun, learn new skills and make friends – regardless of ability.
All facilitators are first aid trained, hold enhanced DBS checks, and bring extensive experience working with people with learning disabilities. Many also have highly successful careers as professional dancers, choreographers, and teachers.
