Welcome to DanceSyndrome!
DanceSyndrome was founded in 2009 by its Creative Director, Jen Blackwell, who realised that her disability was preventing her from following her dream of being a dancer and dance leader.
DanceSyndrome believes that everyone has the right to follow their own interests and passions – regardless of whether they have a disability or not. We provide inclusive dance and leadership opportunities for people who believe disability is not a barrier to living life to the full.
DanceSyndrome has an equal number of disabled and non-disabled company members, and has three main aims for its dancers:
- To develop leadership skills in order to deliver high quality inclusive dance workshops;
- To create and present new dance performances;
- To access, attend and participate in mainstream dance training and professional development opportunities.
