Online dance classes and workshops
This year anyone, anywhere in the world could connect with us for virtual classes and resources. We managed to adjust and feel even stronger! Keeping connected to our dance participants, company dancers, SiD’s freelance team, the wider dance network and funders was our priority and continues to be.
SiD delivered:
• Adult weekly contemporary dance technique classes, for people with some experience. • Weekly Contact Dance Company Classes. • A weekly creative dance class for people with learning disabilities living in a supported living setting in Shropshire. • Explore workshops – two advanced level inclusive dance labs with guest teachers
PARENT AND CARERS FEEDBACK
DANCERS FEEDBACK
It has been wonderful to watch our daughter during the Zoom sessions and to listen to her chatting to folks, best of all hearing her laughter and giggling is amazing
Just an amazing effort and fantastic outcome for all involved. There have been some amazing experiences
The sessions every week have been a lifesaver during lockdown providing much needed structure and familiarity to the week
The opportunity to see friendly faces has reduced anxiety levels
I am free to move about, see people but not worry about social distancing
I would be really bored if there was no zoom classes
The classes have reminded me that I always have friends
The classes have helped me to carry on being a good dancer, and kept me fit I don’t think I’ve ever felt so emotional during dance classes, witnessing each other dance through this period has been a very powerful and moving experience. Shared laughter, pride, grief, and joy
