Access and Inclusion in Education

SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) projects using different themes or curriculum-based activities.

We can create bespoke projects for schools and colleges inspired by different themes or curriculum-based activities. Schools can be part of local cluster sharings that Dancefest organises or become part of our larger scale performance projects.

Michele Holder is our Dance Development Team Leader (Access and Inclusion). Please contact her about any aspect of our inclusive work. Michele's direct number is 07779 507593 (Tuesdays and Wednesdays)
