Opportunity through
inclusive dance
Indepen-dance is an award winning inclusive dance company for disabled and non-disabled people to enjoy, express, and fulfil their potential through dance. Our mission is to enable participation in high quality arts provision and improve wellbeing, quality of life and provide opportunities for disabled and non-disabled dancers in both the professional and non-professional dance sectors. We provide weekly creative movement and dance classes throughout the year, where participants become lifelong members and join a thriving social network. We also provide bespoke professional training, career development and employment opportunities.

Weekly Classes
Indepen-dance classes are for disabled people and their carers. We work with a skilled team of professional dancers to deliver weekly classes to service users, organisations, day centres, community groups and more. Our weekly classes are split into three categories:
Core Classes
Our core classes are based in Glasgow for our members and run on a term by term basis in Glasgow
Outreach Classes
Our outreach classes are run outside Glasgow for children, youths and families.
Specialised Classes
Our specialised classes run in Glasgow for varying ages and abilities and are open to members and
non-members.
Connect with us
We would like to say a warm welcome and introduction to Valeria who has joined us on a nine-week placement as a Trainee Choreographer.
Valeria is a multidisciplinary Dance Artist based in Glasgow.
In her practice she combines movement with writing and experiments with different dance styles, such as contemporary, hip hop, reggaeton and breakin’.
Valeria is currently training within different dance programs (Groove Back program by Pirita Tuisku and Rise Above by Three60). She recently produced and performed in her first dance-theatre work “Listen to the Forest”.
The placement is supported by The Federation of Scottish Theatre, Valeria is being mentored by Indepen-dance staff members and is working closely with the creative team and our performance group Evolve, to share her choreographic practice and learn inclusive and accessible approaches.
Valeira will be sharing the work she has created with Evolve at our AGM and Winter Sharing coming up!
