 Inclusive Dance Workshops for Schools  

 

Empowering Movement for Every Body  

​

At VG Dance Workshops, we believe every child deserves the chance to move, express, and shine—regardless of ability, mobility, or sensory needs. Our inclusive dance workshops are specially designed for schools supporting children with Special Educational Needs (SEN), including those who use wheelchairs, experience sensory sensitivities, or have complex or severe needs.

​

With a deep commitment to accessibility, creativity, and joyful movement, we bring professional, adaptable dance experiences directly to your school.

​

Why Inclusive Dance?

​

Dance is a powerful tool for communication, confidence, and connection. For children with diverse abilities, it can be an especially meaningful outlet—offering freedom of expression without the need for words, academic pressure, or comparison.

Our workshops support:
- Physical development through safe, guided movement
- Sensory regulation with calming, rhythmic exercises
- Social interaction and peer connection
- Emotional well-being and self-expression
- Inclusive education values that celebrate diversity

​

Tailored for All Abilities

​

Every workshop is thoughtfully designed and adapted to suit the needs of your students. Whether your school supports children with autism, physical disabilities, Down syndrome, sensory processing disorders, or complex medical conditions, we work alongside your team to ensure every child can participate in a way that is safe, comfortable, and engaging.

We incorporate a range of inclusive techniques such as:
- Seated and standing dance options  
- Visual cues and Makaton signs  
- Sensory-friendly lighting and sound  
- Breakout spaces for rest or regulation  
- Live feedback and real-time adaptation  

​

Led by Trained, Passionate Professionals

Our dance facilitators are not only talented performers and educators—they are experienced in working within SEN environments. All team members are DBS-checked and trained in inclusive practice, with a compassionate, person-centered approach. We understand how to balance structure with flexibility, and always prioritize the comfort and safety of every participant.

​
