Accessible dance programmes for adults with learning disabilities
Our Adult Learning Disability Programmes are designed to cater to the unique needs of adults with learning disabilities while promote increased physical activity, enhance overall wellbeing and boosted self-esteem. Tailored to accommodate all ability levels, our range of class styles includes Seated Dance, Dancercise, and Musical Theatre sessions.
We have a track record of successful partnerships, including commissioning Public Health to rolled out weekly dance and wellbeing sessions for 60 people with learning disabilities in County Durham over 12 months. This initiative aimed not only to enhance physical activity participation but also to underscore the significance of attending health screenings and GP appointments.
We are proud to have established ongoing partnerships with esteemed organisations such as Ethicare, Mencap, and Barchester Healthcare. These collaborations are a testament to our commitment to providing quality services in the realm of adult disability programmes.
