Ability - a dance course for adults with learning disabilities.

Ability is a weekly dance course for adults with additional support needs who want to develop their dance technique and skills alongside like-minded people. Delivered by Artistic Learning Manager Sophie Alder MSc, dancers are nurtured and challenged through our unique training methods which are adapted to meet individual needs.

For adults aged 16+, the course focuses on improving dance technique and fitness, alongside creative skills whilst developing communication and social interaction.
