Awards and Recognition for DanceSyndrome

We are very proud of the fact that our work has been recognised by many local and national awarding bodies. Our Founder Jen Blackwell rightly points out that “Winning awards shows that people with learning disabilities can do amazing things with their lives if given a chance.” At DanceSyndrome, we take every opportunity to celebrate the success of all members of our team.
