Come and join the WIDance team as we kick, bounce, wiggle, roll, and slide into term two, 2025!
Whether you're a seasoned dancer or a beginner, our classes are designed to be accessible and engaging for all skill levels. WIDance offers a safe and inclusive space to find joy and laughter through movement, nurturing our creative curiosity through contemporary dance, improvisation, dance-based games, and composition. These activities enhance body and space awareness while fostering social connections through movement.
Our technique exercises are based on UK based Stopgap Dance company's IRIS syllabus.
"IRIS is an inclusive dance syllabus that gives teachers a framework to develop the disabled dancers of tomorrow. It is a consolidation of Stopgap’s experience of training professional disabled dancers, and it contains tried and tested methods that the company has been developing since 1995.
IRIS is divided into four levels: Include, Respond, Integrate and Specialise, each having its own set exercises, guidelines and assessments. IRIS will give disabled children and young people the same level of structure, balance and rigour of dance education as their non-disabled peers and provide the opportunity to accumulate skills and experiences necessary for the professional industry".
