We offer dance opportunities for children, young people & adults with/without disabilities, finding a balance between the sheer enjoyment of moving & the challenges of working towards performance. We have experience in supporting a variety of additional needs and disabilities and strive to support children and young people to access dance and performance in a way that works best for them.
Dance is a physical activity which plays a significant positive role in the health & well-being of young people, by improving cardiovascular function, preventing & reducing obesity, enhancing social skills, self-esteem & supporting positive mental health.
If your child / young person requires 1:1 support to allow them to participate in our activities, we kindly ask that a Personal Assistant or family member attends with them to provide any support needed.
If your child / young person requires a full changing facility with hoist, please check with us about facility access.
