WHAT WE OFFER
We offer fun inclusive accessible dance sessions for adults in the community. Our dance sessions are led by a qualified dance facilitator and supported by a team of volunteer dance buddies.
Our sessions are accessible to standing and seated dancers and those in wheelchairs. We especially welcome adults with learning disabilities to our community classes. Our sessions in care homes and day care centres are dementia friendly.
At each session we welcome everyone as they arrive and make sure that we know everyone’s name. Our sessions always start with introductions and a check-in before we warm up. We check in at the end as well, and try to make sure that everyone’s contribution is valued.
Please check with us if you are not sure if these sessions are suitable for you. to book a taster session.
We need to collect some data about our participants so that we can plan effectively and make contact regarding changes to timetables. We also need some data when reporting to funders. We ask all participants of community classes to complete a registration form, and all host organisations to complete a service level agreement. Please contact us for more information.
At present we are running two community classes in St Leonards on Sea, bespoke sessions in a number of care homes, and a bespoke class in a supported housing association. We are also running monthly dementia friendly tea dances.
We are planning additional sessions following the successful completion of the Paradance UK Inclusive Dance Teacher Training by 6 practitioners.
