This pilot project is part of a key initiative over the next two years to address a national shortage of opportunities for disabled performers and choreographers.
Company INC: a creative dance course for talented disabled dancers from throughout Gloucestershire, held at Milestone School.
Velcro Dance Company: Velcro is an integrated dance company through which disabled and non-disabled performers and choreographers can develop. The Company devises its own work, performs accessible contemporary dance and undertakes commissions and education work. They are currently recruiting new members.
