Community Projects

Established in 2016, the Dance for Parkinson’s Scotland programme, delivered in partnership with Dance Base, supports those with Parkinson’s to experience the benefits of dance and creativity - improving balance, spatial awareness, confidence and fluidity in movement.

The Close project provides a first-time ballet experience for young adults attending special education schools in Scotland. Participants take part in a programme of creative workshops before attending the theatre as VIP guests.

We are proud to be developing a project called ‘Safe to Be Me’ in primary schools across Scotland. This innovative programme uses dance to introduce topics such as racism, homophobia, bigotry, ableism and transphobia. Delivered in line with the key Scottish Government targets to address these areas, the project engages with Primary 6 pupils to explore these themes.
