Left to Right: Ferdia O’Connell, Scott Welch, Louis Wilson, Shenee Pryde, Bess Wilson, Maya Erichsen. Absent: Emma Pearce In May 2016 Amanda Dorset had the inspired idea to approach Rachel Erichsen of Dance Out Loud, with a view to set up a dance session to cater for young people with disabilities. Rachel tasked her incredibly talented daughter Laura, with setting up and running the programme. It is now in its second term operating out of Dance Out Loud’s studio, upstairs in the Spencer House Mall. Saturday afternoons of school term at 4pm, a group of kids and teens with additional needs and their buddies have an absolute blast bustin’ grooves with Laura; everything from limbo dancing to Michael Jackson
routines! Not only do these Game On Dance Sessions provide a joyful experience - the talk of the school yard for these kids during the week - but after just over a term of sessions, without exception, we are watching our kids develop skills they did not know they had at the start of the programme. The group is currently funded by Game On, along with a gold coin donation per dancer. If you would like to join in or to contribute to ensure the continuance and development of this programme, please contact Amanda Dorset on amanda@wanakaliving.com
