This training blends movement exploration, improvisation, and practical teaching strategies with insightful discussions on accessibility, communication, and adaptability. Whether you’re new to inclusive dance or looking to deepen your skills, this course will give you the tools to lead with confidence.

Through group discussions and hands-on problem-solving activities, you will develop practical approaches to overcome barriers to engagement and teaching challenges, make your teaching more responsive, creative and accessible.

Candoco will support dance practitioners and facilitators to: 

• Create accessible lesson plans for your practice.
• Explore movement and teaching approaches that support a variety of needs.
• Adapt the learnings to their own teaching needs.

What You will Gain:

• Understanding of inclusive teaching models and how to identify and remove barriers in dance spaces.
• Skills to design flexible lesson plans suitable for disabled and non-disabled participants.
• Practical strategies for active inclusion and responsive and adaptive teaching approaches.
• A supportive network of like-minded practitioners committed to inclusive practice.

Suitable for:
Dance teachers, movement practitioners, community leaders, and anyone passionate about teaching and making dance more accessible and inclusive.

No prior experience with inclusive dance is required – just a passion for teaching and a willingness to explore new ways of moving. This event supports those just beginning to learn how to become more inclusive in their practice.
