This co-delivered workshop explores DanceSyndrome's inclusive approach, examining barriers faced by those with learning disabilities and strategies to break them down in dance studios. Tailored for dancers, artists, and teachers, it covers learning disability models, attitudinal/physical/communication barriers, and how DanceSyndrome removes obstacles through adapted communication, access, equity, and psychological safety.

Participants gain awareness of additional needs challenges, knowledge of their perspectives in non-inclusive settings, and an action plan with resources to promote inclusivity in their own practice. Through discussion, videos, and activities, this course equips dance professionals with tools to create a welcoming, barrier-free environment.
