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.

Following this week’s announcements from the Government, unfortunately our plans to re-introduce limited adult classes next week has been put on hold for the time being.
We are delighted to confirm however, that we will be welcoming back Youth classes for persons under 18 years old.
We will be contacting all youth members who have already completed our Members Survey and are keen to return. If you have not yet completed the survey and would like to return, please contact us via the details below.
We would like to assure all members that a full risk assessment has been completed and health and safety measures implemented alongside training and a health and safety checklist for all of our staff.
We will be operating from the one hall that we will have full management of over the next coming months and will be opening only in Glasgow for the time being.
We are absolutely thrilled to have the go ahead for some of our classes to return and can’t wait to see some familiar faces next week! 🙌

It was a great week, Karen remembers fondly:
"I have a lasting memory of bumping into Dave one morning on Sauchiehall St where he'd stopped outside a shop to have a look at his phone, during that short time at least 3 people had stopped to offer Dave money, a coffee and a sandwich, Dave and I had a laugh about this, I remember him asking me if Glaswegians were always this generous and thoughtful, I felt proud of the City I was born in."
The worldwide family of inclusive arts will miss you.
