Our Projects
We deliver our dance movement programmes and projects across many different sectors in the community reaching both neurotypical and neurodivergent individuals of all age groups starting at children aged 2 to adults.
We are proud of the difference we have made to so many and continue to do so. Here is just a brief overview of some of our projects with links to the dedicated pages providing more details.
Early Years Projects
We provide our Developmental Dance Movement® (DDM) programme to young children of all abilities. DDM is an evidence-based early years programme conceived to enhance global development (cognitive, physical, social, emotional). Sessions take the form of various dance-based games and activities which link to early learning goals and are supported by Makaton signing.

School Projects
We work with various schools, both mainstream and specialist working with pupils from nursery classes to secondary providing our unique ground-breaking programmes that support learning and combinging physical and intellectual development. Pupils of all abilities are engaged and empowered to make academic progress.
Research indicates that a high percentage of children arriving at school have significant barriers to learning that affect their co-ordination, concentration, and self-regulation. More and more teachers are aware of these difficulties in the classroom. Our flagship Developmental Dance Movement® (DDM) programme designed for EYFS and Key Stage 1, is scientifically proven to support the developmental maturity required to be ‘learning ready’ whilst the content aligns with the National Curriculum, optimising the educational learning potential of all children in a fully inclusive class group delivery model.

For older children, we provide Autism Movement Therapy® (AMT) and other complimentary sessions such as Yotism® and Creative Dance, based on the needs are requirements of the children in the sessions. AMT offers an innovative, energetic and structured approach that stimulates the brain, aids sensory processing, develops communication and motor skills all while having fun.
Community Workshops / Classes
We work within our local community providing our programmes to a diverse range of individuals ensuring that they are tailored to meet the needs of the participants. We provide weekly AMT classes and other complimentary sessions including Laughter Yoga to Share Comunity, a charity providing activities and support to adults with learning disabilities, autism and mental health needs and monthly AMT sessions at Brightstars, a small community club that provides a platform for those with autism to have fun and a place where they feel safe and confident to be themselves.
We regularly support the events and HAF programmes organised by A2ndvoice CIC, a not-for-profit organisation supporting the needs of autistic people and their families, raising awareness and understanding from different perspectives, outreaching also to the Africa, Caribbean, Asian, and Minority Ethnic Communities (ACAME) and Dual Heritage Communities in tackling the taboos and myths around Autism.
We are also currently running our own community programmes, 'Build-A Bridge' and 'Action for Autism' both of which are funded projects (more details below).
