DANCERS - TAG YOUR SCHOOLS!
Instead of us choosing a charity we will instead be giving back to the dance community

After each event
1 school will recieve
⭐️ 1 bleed control kit
⭐️ 1 BS8599 standard first aid kit
Or
⭐️ £100 towards first aid training for staff (where training costs less the remainder can be used to top up current first aid kit contents where required)

School accounts please DM us or comment below to get on the list, this will be on a first serve basis with 1 school being offered this at each event (even if they didnt attend)

First time assisted sections ⭐️
We tried something new and the response was unbelievable! We had mums crying, children shining and so much unbelievable support that these sections deserved its own reel!
These sections are for dancers who do not have a solo in these genres, who may not have a solo at all or may have never stepped on stage before - because every person deserves the chance to shine on stage ⭐️
Thank you to & .o_dancer_ for bringing this vision to life!

Thank you to the 4 soloists also for volunteering to join in one section for moral support and for being so supportive and encouraging towards the individual dancer when due to none reporting they could have been alone!

Thank you to the parents who despite a sunny day, stayed to watch to support and cheer on every dancer.

And to the dancers themselves - we seen your confidence grow, we seen the smiles appearing- and you all volunteering to have a go performing what you learned as a solo blew me away!

I am so proud to have given you the platform to shine ⭐️😍

I am so thankful to all of the OTS dancers since July who joined our event lyrical workshops and to the amazing choreographers and assistants we have had in, all £5 entry payments for these workshops were donated! So far an amazing £510!
All fundraising sent to Dance Syndrome went towards this amazing residential and it looks AMAZING!

Message from Dance Syndrome:

ENRICH ’26 was an opportunity for members from our online community to come together in person with the DanceSyndrome Dance Leaders and Dance Artists who co-deliver their weekly online dance sessions. The online community started on Zoom in 2020 and this is only the second time that they have met in person. We delivered two days of dance activities, at The University of Lancashire in Preston, on the theme of “connection” which culminated in an informal performance in the professional theatre space. The group also enjoyed a range of social activities across the weekend to reinforce the connections made in the dance space. The feedback from the weekend was fantastic and participants and parents/carers all commented on how important dance and social opportunities are for people with learning disabilities. We are really grateful for your support to make this event happen!
