Inclusion In Action Training

Our Inclusion In Action training is about sharing DanceSyndrome’s ethos that everyone should be included in society, regardless of ability.

We believe that everybody can dance and that there is no right or wrong way to move & there is beauty and significance in everyone’s movement.

We offer different training packages for a range of organisations (schools, colleges, universities, dance organisations, businesses).

Our sessions are co-delivered by a Dance Artist and two Dance Leaders with learning disabilities.

Following the training, participants should have greater awareness of

  • the impact that inclusive dance practice has on the welfare and wellbeing of people with learning disabilities
  • the barriers that people with learning disabilities face and how these barriers can be reduced
  • why inclusion affects everyone
  • how we can all work inclusively in our own settings
