About DanceSyndrome
Established in 2009 as a limited company, DanceSyndrome became a charity in 2013. The charity has experienced an exponential increase in demand both regionally and nationally, and has been added to Arts Council England’s 2023-26 National Portfolio. Using dance as a vehicle for positive change, our vision is to empower learning-disabled individuals through inclusive dance.
All activity is led by a Dance Leader with learning disabilities supported by a professionally trained Dance Artist. Using a co-production model, DanceSyndrome delivers five weekly community workshops and training for the core company. On demand the dancers regularly engage in performances, training, university seminars, conferences and are developing and piloting a social franchise model.
This is a really exciting time for our charity as a new National Portfolio Organisation with Arts Council England and as we deliver on a three year National Lottery Community Fund Project. In April 2022, we launched our ambitious 3-year strategy: Vision 2025 with three key strands:
