Indepen-dance was set up to provide inclusive dance opportunities for disabled people of all ages and abilities, ensuring that everyone can enjoy, express, and connect through movement and dance. We believe that dance should be accessible to all, regardless of age, background, or disability. Through annual core programme of activities we provide weekly classes, training, outreach, performances and volunteering opportunities, we bring people together to share the joy of dance. Led by experienced artists trained in inclusive practice, our programmes build confidence, creativity, and wellbeing. We also challenge perceptions of disability in the arts by showcasing the talent and artistry of our dancers on stage and in the community, celebrating diversity and promoting inclusion across Scotland.
