DanceSyndrome Launches First Ever Environment Week!
Monday 28th July – Friday 1st August 2025
DanceSyndrome is inviting everyone to join our first ever Environment Week, a celebration of sustainability, community and creativity through dance. All of our inclusive dance sessions during the week will include an environmental theme, which will be co-produced using topics chosen by our individual Dance Artists and Dance Leaders with learning disabilities.
As an Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisation, Environment Week is part of our wider commitment to Environmental Responsibility, recognising that just as people thrive with the right support and care, so does our planet.
Follow us on social media this week as we’ll be spotlighting the work of our Environment Champions, sharing fun and accessible independent activity ideas, and encouraging people to take small but powerful actions, like reducing plastic use, joining a beach clean-up or cooking a meat-free meal.
Lucy Burgess is the Dance Leader Environment Champion. Lucy said “I’m proud to be Dance Leader Environment Champion. I am passionate about the planet. I want to tell other people why it’s important too.”
DanceSyndrome Environment Lead, Sarah Calderbank, said “This week is about small steps with big impact. We want to inspire our dance community, including people with learning disabilities, to feel empowered, not overwhelmed, by the idea of helping the planet. We hope everyone can learn something new and have fun in the process!”
DanceSyndrome has created a booklet which shares our learning about the environment and some inspiration about how you can get involved! Download the Environment Week Guide here:
