Foot Tapping

‘It was wonderful to be welcomed back to Sco ish Ballet’s dementiafriendly Time to Dance® class by familiar faces, and to meet some new ones. As soon as Adam begins playing bongo or piano, my friend’s face lights up and her body starts to move to the music. It’s truly magical to watch and always brings a lump to my throat. I can see it has the same e ect for others in the class — pre y soon the feet start tapping and the class start moving to the music and connecting with their partners and the volunteers.’ — Time to Dance® carer and participant

Beginners’ Call

‘Your conversation with Stage Manager, Zoe Hayward was a real eye-opener. I don’t know what I thought a Stage Manager did, but it became very clear just how critical the role is — perhaps like having a second conductor. I have really appreciated the way you have used the events over the years to highlight di erent roles in the company and it all goes to increase my eventual enjoyment of live shows.’

— James Wa , Directors’ Circle
