Funded Projects

As a charity we are dedicated to providing meaningful opportunities for children, young people and vulnerable adults to engage with and experience dance and movement based learning. Our work focuses on creating inclusion and equality for those with ill­ health, physical disability, SEN, financial hardship, or other disadvantages who are often disregarded or less well served by mainstream dance programmes.

To illustrate the difference we can make and the benefits of our sessions, please watch the clip below:

WE NEED YOUR HELP!

We have been based in South East London since 2012. We work closely with the local community, outreach to other boroughs and present our work at National level.

Our approach is unique in a number of ways:

  • our work is evidence based
  • we provide inclusive dance programmes that focus on child development and individuals with special needs (including autism and related differences)
  • our programmes increase whole-body learning experiences in a structured, socially interactive and enjoyable way
  • we provide training courses and share best practice through community workshops aimed at educators, parents and carers.

Our objects are for the public benefit, the advancement of education and the arts and the relief of those in need, by reason of youth, age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage. For more information about the classes and sessions we provide please visit our School Projects and Community Classes pages.
