ANNUAL REPORT 2019-2020
## **Welcome remarks from our Chair (Interim)**
It was after a long tenure that our former Chair, Jan de Kok, handed over the baton to me to serve as the new (interim) Chair in January 2020 and my deepest thanks go to Jan for his dedicated support to **icandance** over the last 12 years. Little did we know then that the world would be upended by a pandemic.
The past year has brought about so much change in all our lives and as the world around us continues to grapple with having to adapt to the ‘new normal’, I recognise that for the families in the **icandance** community this is not the first time life hasn’t looked the way they expected it to look. The challenges posed by the current circumstances are in some ways simply additional to the extra individual challenges already faced by the children and young people of this community and their families. As a parent of a child with complex needs myself, I had already come to accept ambiguity and uncertainty in my life. Nevertheless, at a time when people with disabilities seem to have been side-lined more than ever, I, for one, am incredibly grateful that we were part of the **icandance** community at this time.
Whilst many of the services that those with disabilities and their families had come to depend on seemed to dissipate in recent days, **icandance** remained steadfast in its commitment to support this community. Turning the pages of this annual report, you will see how much the charity managed to adapt and achieve in a short period of time all whilst staying true to our core values. The team took time to formulate a thoughtful response to the pandemic that embodied **icandance’s** unique way of working and thinking.
As Chair, I had the privilege of seeing first-hand the commitment and dedication of the incredible team who not only worked hard to pull together much needed emergency funding but also showed great enthusiasm to find new ways of working to best support and engage our community. I am thankful that we have such a fantastic team and funders that recognise the value of our work.
Last but not least, my sincere thanks to our **icandance** community and the inspiring children and young people that are the make-up of this wonderful charity. In the words of Christopher Robin: ‘You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think.’
With best wishes,
**April Sethi** (Interim Chair)

ANNUAL REPORT 2019-2020
## **Review of the year from our Founder & CEO**
The year has been an unexpected one with a great deal of change, unpredictability, and challenges, experienced pre-COVID-19 and during-COVID-19. Whilst what the charity offered looked different in each of these stages our approach and connection as a community remained ever strong and resolute in the power of dance and its ability to connect our community.
We began our year riding on the wave of our celebrations of the year before with renewed focus and energy as to what we offer as an organisation. Until mid-March when the pandemic struck, we reached 150 children and young people with a variety of disabilities each week through the range of programmes led by **icandance** as well partner working in the community, schools, and other arts organisations. Our team included a diverse, skilled, and passionate group of young volunteers (14 to 18 years old), volunteers, disability specialists, artists, Dance Movement Psychotherapists and administrators. Together we began the year energised as we built on the success from the year before and reflected on changes from lessons learnt.
When the COVID-19 pandemic hit the UK, our dancers were hugely affected. **icandance** celebrates difference in disabled children and young people through dance and performance. We offer weekly dance sessions for ages 4 to 25 years old with varying disabilities through a unique approach which integrates tools from Dance, Education and Dance Movement Psychotherapy. All our work is enhanced through touch.
At first it seemed unimaginable to translate our approach, which relies on physical interventions, to a diluted online version. However, not doing anything felt just as impossible. Motivated to reassure our community that they were not forgotten we began to rebuild new ways of connecting. Teaching online and through recordings allowed us to research more deeply, to understand our approach as we embodied being reflective practitioners who are comfortable with change. Working online would not and cannot be the same as in person and should not be measured as such. It offered us and our community a new way of being together and the results were fascinating. Producing a dynamic cycle of planning, delivering, reflecting, and reshaping allowed us to identify core areas of learning when offering an inclusive online practice.
The year has offered us unusual gifts and as a community we have found new ways of delivering our vision to the families that need it now more than ever.
I have been inspired by the resilience of our community, the courage of our dancers and the commitment of our team.
In the true spirit of the **icandance** way, we celebrated our achievements. This report shares our journey through the year.

ANNUAL REPORT 2019-2020
## **ICANDANCE IN ACTION**
**icandance** continues to meet the needs of disabled children and young people with complex learning, physical and health needs aged 4 to 25 years. We offer a range of experiences that cater for the child, the family and the wider community.
Our Team is comprised of a diverse group of passionate individuals who are trained in the areas of Dance Movement Psychotherapy, Dance (varying forms), Special Education, Community Work as well as those with lived experience. This enriches our team and the skills we bring to our relationships with each family.
We are aware that the families with whom we work experience isolation, fear, lack of funding, exhaustion, shame, prejudice and insufficient access to skilled workers amongst many other social challenges. Our specialist approach is designed to meet these challenges.
## **DANCING BEFORE COVID-19**
Before the pandemic we delivered:
## **Weekly group sessions**
Each session offered dancers the opportunity to connect with peers, explore their creativity whilst being supported by a skilled 1 to 1 support worker.
## **Weekly small group sessions**
Offering children who find the bigger space and group overwhelming, the smaller group was set up as a transitional space to support group readiness.
## **Weekly individual Dance Movement Psychotherapy (on Saturdays and in schools)**
Offering young people the opportunity to work deeper on their understanding of themselves and their relationships.
## **Weekly Teen Dance Club**
A fun social club with dance at the heart of each gathering.
## **Weekly inclusive Youth Dance Company**
A challenging dance session for dancers of all abilities who dance independently. Together they create beautiful dances to perform in the wider community.

ANNUAL REPORT 2019-2020
## **Weekly sessions with John Dewey Specialist College**
Weekly **icandance** sessions within the college community including an end of year celebratory performance.
## **A Winter Awards Ceremony with a performance from the dancers and a family social**
A community gathering where together we celebrated the achievements specific to each dancer.
## **Annual Community Gathering**
A more formal event where funders, families and Team members came together to reflect on **icandance** through the year, understand the vision of the organisation and our current financial position. We also heard from guest speakers this year, Emily, one of our dancers and Georgia, one of our young volunteers.
## **Theatre outing for the Teen Dance Club**
The Warren is an amazing supporter of **icandance** and raises money for us by staging productions. Our young people love to go along and cheer from the audience. It is a great collaboration in the true spirit of community partners.
## **Partners**
**icandance** was invited to lead a collaboration between Oak Lodge School in Barnet and the Arts Depot Theatre. The 6-week project, ‘Moving Narratives’, will develop a performance piece and exhibition with 14 young people with disabilities and is a brilliant way to share the icandance philosophy with a wider audience. The first session took place in March and will continue when schools reopen to external partners. There will be a visual representation of the collaboration in the foyer of the arts depot. We look forward to continuing this project once the pandemic restrictions allow.
## **Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing (ISTD)**
Our CEO Juliet, continued partner working with the ISTD in delivering a day’s training in inclusive dance practice at their International Summer School in the UK in August 2019 as well as contributions to their Dance magazine..
## **Parent Support Programme**
Focusing on supporting families is key to our work as a charity and how best to meet the needs of each child. We began our parent support group before face to face working was paused. We continued the sessions online during lockdown. The group allows parents to be supported by experienced professionals whilst hearing from other parents and gaining understanding of their own experiences.

ANNUAL REPORT 2019-2020
## **DANCING DURING COVID-19**
During the lockdown and forced closure of face to face work **icandance** offered the following:
- All sessions were offered free for the whole of the summer term specifically to support families during times of uncertainty as the pandemic hit.
- Shared resources to support families dancing at home. This included social stories, articles and music playlists.
- Video messages - these were both general messages of comfort and support to the dancers as well as each dancer receiving a personalised message. We delivered over 80 individual messages to dancers with ideas for dancing further at home. One of our Team group messages can be viewed here: https://youtu.be/IZ__tpzzJ9M
- Launched a more active social media platform highlighting the work and posting pictures for families to connect to as well as launching a YouTube channel. We have also written new social media guidelines and continue to review our way of using social media.
- Offered and delivered free wellbeing check-ins with our team of therapists for parents, siblings and Team members to support coping at this difficult time.
- Phoned/communicated with every single family to assess how their young person was and connected with the needs of the family.
- Offered two parent support groups via zoom which have offered resources and emotional holding for parents.
- Moved all our sessions online! We have had a 70% engagement from families. Moving our sessions online involved writing an additional safeguarding policy for online working, training our Team on online safeguarding and experimenting with what is best in working with dancers online involving music, demonstrating, visual prompts etc. amongst other approaches to working on line. We have continued with best practice with appropriate Team meetings and supervision as well as planning and note keeping all taking place online. For families unable to engage with the online sessions, the personalised messages and recorded sessions that could be used at the dancers own pace were offered as alternatives.
- Maintained Team relationships throughout this time through ‘Team Teas’ via zoom. This has enabled Team members, with some already having travelled abroad to return home, to remain connected.
- Completed all monitoring and offered parent meetings via zoom. It was great to share with parents our experience of their child/young person and how best to engage with their creativity, learning and wellbeing.
- Offered family feedback emails after online sessions to remain connected with our personalised approach.

ANNUAL REPORT 2019-2020
Through the pandemic we continued to reach all our families directly part of the **icandance** community. This is what families had to say about our approach through the pandemic:
## **96% of Team members believe icandance responded well to the challenges of Covid-19 to support the Team of staff, students and volunteers.**
This is what Team members had to say about **icandance’s** response to COVID-19:
“Thanks so much for everything that you are doing, your team is always so positive and it really does feel like you are in the room with him. I cannot tell you how much we appreciate having you guys in our lives.”
“Thank you Juliet for being so proactive and for creating the sessions via Zoom, for involving other members and reaching out to the **icandance** families and kids. It really helps (our child) to stay in contact with the world outside, with the things he used to enjoy the most and still feeling part of the **icandance** community. We appreciate it.”
“Thank you so much for the positive feedback and the support you have given (our child) every session. She really enjoys **icandance** online as it has lifted the pressure of schoolwork and being away from her friends.”
“We can’t believe how well A engages during her dance sessions with you on Saturdays. She loves every minute and really participates in the dancing. I think this shows us just how much she is missing the social interaction and being physically at **icandance** ! ”
“Thank you so much for reaching out.”
“Juliet - thank you so much for everything you and your wonderful team have done during this ‘weird and unexpected time.”
“Thank you to you and everyone at **icandance** for all your enormous support and efforts, over what has been very challenging times.”

## **94% of icandance parents say they/their family have felt supported through our response to COVID-19**
Supporting our Team was crucial through the pandemic and **icandance** remained committed to all Team contracts in full until the end of June. We shifted immediately to a virtual office so administration of the charity was not impacted and crucial fundraising could continue.
“I realise how important it is to be part of any community, and especially **icandance** . I am grateful for that.”
“All the hard work and support from yourself and the management has been absolutely amazing. I love the Zoom check ins and the email correspondence which keeps **icandance** alive. I truly feel valued as a member of **icandance** .”
## “I am very proud to be part of this team!”
“This term has been such an amazing, transformative learning experience and I genuinely have loved every minute. Saturdays are the highlight of my week and I am so pleased that we have been able to connect with the dancers online. It has been an honour.”
“I think what you have achieved over the past few months is incredible and shows just how strong the **icandance** community is. I have felt absolutely privileged to be a part of it and connect with the children and their families.”
“Thank you for your lovely e-mail, but more importantly congratulations and a genuine appreciation to your kind heart and outstanding leadership. You have been a beacon of strength and stability through these uncertain times and I really valued your compassion and generosity. I feel privileged and grateful to be part of your **icandance** family.”
“I just wanted to say that I am really proud to be part of this community and happy for what **icandance** has brought into my life. I can only say thank YOU. **icandance** is one of the things that gives shape to my life, and it’s been difficult at times to navigate all this without that. Dancing has saved me in so many ways though, and I am grateful.”
“Thank you so much for all of your support during this time. I am so grateful to be a part of such a loving and connected team.”
“I just wanted to say thank you so much for all your support you have provided me for me to grow in my role and it’s been so inspirational to see all the fantastic work you have produced with our **icandance** team even in this pandemic you have not compromised your commitment, in fact you have given each and every one of us the reassurance and support.”

## **SUMMARY OF OUR MONITORING AND IMPACT OF OUR GOALS**
Measuring the impact of our work is embedded across the organisation; from Trustees through to the young volunteers who assist the delivery Team. Our individualised monitoring process, combined with parental feedback, enables us to support and assess the individual progress of each of our young dancers.

Throughout the year, the **icandance** Team observes, monitors and devises individual strategies for each child and young person. The three areas of development we specifically measure our impact in are Creativity, Learning and Wellbeing. At the beginning of each year, the Team assigns a focus (target) for each child or young person for each area. Through a baseline assessment, each dancer’s current level for each focus is recorded, and then individual strategies are devised and implemented to support their progression. Through termly observations and monitoring meetings, each individual focus level is assessed and recorded, with strategies adapted where necessary.
Our monitoring process also enables us to reflect on the service and how a child’s development is directly related to the relationship with, and supported by, the Team at **icandance** . **icandance** believes that change for the dancer can only occur in a supportive, nurturing, skilled relationship. Our bespoke monitoring system offers insight into our practice which scaffolds the dancers’ development.
Over the past year we have looked at each child’s development in the areas of:
**Creativity** - How the child engages with and expresses themself through dance.
**Learning** - How the child develops new skills in dance, communication and group work
**Wellbeing** - How the child develops their self-confidence and self-belief, leading to an enhanced understanding of themself and relationships with others.
For each of these three development areas all children and young people are set their own personalised aspirational ‘focus level’ for the year; taking account of their individual abilities and specific challenges. Recognising that individuals’ needs vary significantly their progress is assessed vs. these personalised focus levels at the end of each term, rather than against that of their peers.
For each termly observation, every child and young person is observed to assess whether they are working at their current level at the start of the year, working at their focus level or exceeding their focus level. Our approach to monitoring is individualised and ongoing; allowing each child / young person to develop in the best possible way as we acknowledge progress no matter how small.
For the 2019-2020 funding period, our work with the children and young people has achieved the average termly outcomes illustrated by the following charts.
**Note:** Terms 2 and 3 were during the UK’s Covid-19 lockdown with icandance sessions held remotely over Zoom necessitating a tailored approach to setting focus levels and monitoring. The high scores achieved indicate that the Zoom sessions were more successful than expected.

“ **icandance** has helped my child to become more confident and help her to express and cope with challenges.”

“She is given space to create and be who she is. She is not hushed or rushed. Her expressive physical movements are celebrated. She performed on stage last year, this was significant progress overcoming anxiety at being in a new space and having lots of people around. It was beautiful and very emotional to watch. A very proud moment was provided that was inclusive of my child, not many opportunities like that sadly exists.”
“ **icandance** is, in normal times, hugely important to him and central to his weekend. His confidence has increased thanks to the classes and he has made friends. The sessions in lockdown have been very effective and broadened his range of interaction with peers. Thank you!”
“ **icandance** has been the best place we have been able to find for my son. It has helped him in many different ways such as learning to socialise, having conversations with other young people of his age, interacting with adults, he has stopped being more shy. His vocabulary has improved a lot. I really thank all the **icandance** team for their hard work and good effort and dedication for all students. Thank you very much.”

## **OUR TEAM’S THOUGHTS ON ICANDANCE**

“The teamwork and commitment are so valuable and consistent throughout whether it be office work or work with the children themselves.”
“The manager and colleagues were extremely supportive and offered me the opportunity to be involved in different activities.”
“Working with the young people is so rewarding and joyful.”
“The relationships that are forming between the participants and myself. Being able to contribute positively to someone else’s experience to express themselves.”
“Seeing the improvements of the dancers from week to week and the smiles on their faces when they are dancing and seeing their friends as well as the team. To witness the dancers’ evolution throughout their journey. To see them express themselves confidently in the space and when they develop relations with other dancers. Also, I love learning with the team and the dancers about the dance and movement therapy.”
“Working with and being supported by the most fantastic team but also seeing the children develop and grow. Also, the impact on the whole family and hearing how their confidence has grown in other areas of their lives.”
“The opportunity to work with other members of staff, share my experiences and thoughts as at the same time I get a lot of experiences, develop my skills, and develop working in a team, helps me to work with each **icandance** dancer depending on their needs.”

ANNUAL REPORT 2019-2020
## **HIGHLIGHTS OF THE YEAR**
## **Winter Awards**
The Winter Awards allow us an opportunity to celebrate each dancer for their individual achievements. This is accompanied by a small performance. This year the dancers performed their choreographed winter stories for their families better then ever before. We gathered afterwards as a community with tea and cake to celebrate together. Our awards were well attended and offered young people another performance highlight.
## **Young Ambassadors**
Our Young Ambassadors (YA) programme was launched online in June as a pilot study. The YA’s purpose is to give a voice to the young people at icandance and to offer them opportunities to share ideas, raise awareness of our community and develop leadership opportunities. We hope to offer future Leadership/Co-creator trainings in the future. The Young Ambassadors includes 6 young people, who are dancers as well as young volunteers, meeting together online numerous times a term to share their voice and shape the future of **icandance** .
## **Dance online Challenge**
Our youth dance company took part in the UDance online Challenge creating an online dance to share. We had lots of fun creating ‘The Dance of Hope’ which gave the dancers focus and supported connection as they created the piece through lockdown. Here is their performance piece: https://youtu.be/ig0NZyhPKfA
## **Dance Party**
Due to the pandemic we were unable to come together as a community and celebrate with our annual performance. Desiring to still connect our community we hosted various Dance Parties for families to come together and celebrate a great term of dancing together. We had lots of fun with bright colours, disco lights, and song requests from dancers.
## **Online working**
Finding creative ways to work online has offered **icandance** some new and exciting opportunities. It has offered us new ways of working with families and as a Team, helping us to shape our offer even further making learning and opportunities more accessible for all. The online working also offered us the opportunity to engage families more as parents became their child’s dance partner and their home a theatre! The online sessions allowed us to work with both the dancer and their parents to engage with the **icandance** approach.

ANNUAL REPORT 2019-2020
## **Parent engagement with monitoring**
We completed the first full year of applying our bespoke monitoring system, which completed with online meetings with parents and Team members to reflect together on each dancer’s experience through the year. Parent and Team feedback completed our monitoring which was then shared with each parent and forms the basis of next year’s monitoring cycle.
## **Annual Community Gathering**
A special event when all members of our community gather together with common purpose in understanding the impact, progress and goals of **icandance** . This year in particular we list the evening as a highlight due to hearing the voices of the dancers and volunteers.
38
ANNUAL REPORT 2019-2020
## **LOOKING AHEAD TO 2020-2021**
We are conscious that we are still managing the charity and the families’ needs whilst working through the pandemic. We will remain continuously vigilant to the risks both physically and financially this poses for **icandance** . We will also:
- Encourage the dancers’ voice more in all that we do, especially in the monitoring of their own development at **icandance** and the shaping of what we offer.
- Formalise a training system specifically for Team members but that can also be shared with other organisations
- Further research and present clarity around the **icandance** model specifically the strength of the use of Dance Movement Psychotherapy and the impact on wellbeing, learning and creativity.
- Continue to explore **icandance** ’s approach to supporting the parents and carers of disabled children and young people.
- Develop additional partnerships with the wider artistic community to offer greater opportunity for dancers at **icandance** .

## **Directors and Trustees**
The Directors of the charitable company (the Charity) are also the Trustees for the purpose of charity law. The Trustees serving during the year and since the year end were as follows:
Mrs A Sethi Chair Mr J De Kok (resigned 10 January 2020) Mr S Goldsmith A.C.A. Treasurer Mr N Francis Mr N Cox Mrs C Bradley Mr R Pearce Mrs D Dajani (appointed 13 March 2020)

In preparing this report, the Trustees have taken advantage of the small company exemptions provided by section 415A of the Companies Act 2006.
By order of the Trustees
## **FINANCIAL OVERVIEW**
Income generated decreased to £152,077 (2019 £237,754) and expenditure also decreased to £165,897 (2019 £184,514). The total resources expended during the year have been in furtherance of **icandance’** s charitable objectives.
Cash balances increased to £123,398 (2019 £120,950).
At the end of this period there is an unrestricted surplus of £83,396 (excluding designated reserves). The Trustees’ intention is to retain reserves covering between 4 to 6 months running costs and they are of the opinion that this is an appropriate level of surplus and reserves generation and use.
Reserves are also underpinned by liquid cash balances, which provide essential working capital funding for day-to-day operating costs, supporting the delivery of the organisation’s objectives in an efficient and cost-effective way.
Free reserves is a useful proxy for liquidity and working capital management as well as a recognised indicator in the sector when reported in ‘weeks of expenditure’. The current level of free reserves represents 22 weeks (2019 21 weeks) of total resources expended.
The Trustees are therefore of the opinion that the level of reserves is acceptable and will provide a sufficient buffer for **icandance** . On this basis, the Trustees also consider that the charity has adequate resources to continue operating for the foreseeable future.

ANNUAL REPORT 2019-2020
## **NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS**
## **1. Accounting policies**
The principal accounting policies are summarised below. The accounting policies have been applied consistently in dealing with items considered material in relation to the financial statements.
## **a) Basis of accounting**
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, in accordance with the Companies Act 2006 and applicable accounting standards, and follow the recommendations of Accounting and Reporting by Charities - Statement of Recommended Practice (FRS 102 SORP 2019) and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). icandance meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis which assumes that current and future sources of funding and support will be more than adequate for the charitable company’s needs.
Due to Covid-19 the charity has reduced expenditure where possible, furloughed non-essential staff and applied for emergency funding. Given the level of receipts expected from multi-year grants, parents’ fees and pledged donations the Trustees are confident that sufficient funding will be raised to continue with the current level of operations. This will be monitored very closely and additional cost savings have been identified should it prove necessary to make further cuts.
## **b) Income**
All income is accounted for when the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
Voluntary income is received by way of donations and is included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable.
Grants where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific performance by the charity, are recognised when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the income.
Legacies are included in full in the financial statements when there is sufficient evidence to provide the necessary certainty that the legacy will be received, and the value of the incoming resources can be measured with sufficient reliability.
## **c) Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT**
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis when a liability is incurred, as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to the expenditure. Expenditure includes any VAT, which cannot be recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates.
## **d) Fund accounting**
Unrestricted and Designated funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees to further any of the charitable objectives of the charity. Restricted funds comprise monies raised for, and their use restricted to, a specific purpose, or donations subject to conditions imposed by the donor or through the terms of an appeal.
## **e) Fixed assets**
Fixed Assets (excluding investments) are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of each asset over its expected useful life, which in all cases are estimated at 3 years.
## **f) Financial instruments**
The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their amortised cost.
## **g) Debtors**
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
## **h) Creditors**
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
## **i) Bank**
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
## **2. Legal status**
The Charity is a company limited by guarantee and has no share capital. The liability of each member in the event of winding-up is limited to £10.
