About this Event

Leadership in Action: Amplifying and advocating learning disabled dance leaders

Wednesday 26 June 10.30am - 4pm

In person at Attenborough Arts Centre, Leicester UK

People Dancing and Corali Dance Company are delighted to present this one day in person event for learning disabled dance leaders and their supporters.

Led with supporting partners Anjali Dance Company, DanceSyndrome, Stopgap Dance Company and TIN Arts, the day, a first of its kind, supports the coming together of learning disabled dance leaders in one space.

During the event we will explore what dance leadership is, how to progress as a dance leader within the dance profession and what some of the barriers to progression might be. The day also provides an opportunity for dancers to come together to move alongside one another and contribute to the discussions.

For allies, supporters and organisations, the day creates opportunities to connect with learning disabled dance leaders and companies in the profession, and to take part in discussions that set out to make lasting change.

This event is aimed at learning disabled dancers who either currently work, or aim to work professionally in dance, or have a least 1 year's dancing experience. We understand that the term leader might be present in different ways and mean different things to different people.

For more information, please contact [email protected].

Please note:

If you require personal care support you will need to bring someone with you.

If you define as having a learning disability and go to book, you will be expected to pay a fee of £10 to attend.

People who book for the day will need to attend in person in Leicester, UK.

Lunch will be provided at this event.
