DanceSyndrome

Who we are

DanceSyndrome is an inclusive and multi-award winning charity creating change for people with learning disabilities and transforming lives through dance in a unique, groundbreaking way which doesn’t exist anywhere else.

Using our unique co-production metholody, we offer a broad programme of innovative dance, leadership, inclusion workshops and training for people with learning disabilities, whilst addressing health inequalities, social inclusion, prevention and transformation.

Our culture and values

DanceSyndrome strives to provide new and exciting opportunities for people who may otherwise be excluded from mainstream dance. We believe that everyone has the right to follow their own interests and passions – whether they have a disability or not. We work with learning-disabled and non-disabled company members, and we provide inclusive dance and leadership opportunities for people who believe disability need not be a barrier to living life to the full.

All our dance activity is led and informed by people with learning disabilities. DanceSyndrome activities give people confidence, respect, value and self-belief through our philosophy of ‘anything is possible even though you have a learning disability’.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

The DanceSyndrome family is filled with passionate and motivated people who are committed to creating a world where everyone can thrive and fulfil their potential.

Inclusion, diversity and equity are at the heart of our organisation. We are keen to hear from applicants of diverse cultures, perspectives and lived experiences. You do not need specific experience of working previously with people with learning disabilities, we are looking for people who believe in what we do and want to support DanceSyndrome to grow its impact and to help create a fairer, more inclusive and equitable society for everyone.
