Dancing helps to develop self-esteem and builds team-working and communication skills. It gives people with learning disabilities the opportunity to have regular exercise, be creative, feel more confident and be more independent.

Anjali Dance Company delivers a weekly Open Class during term time for people with learning disabilities.

The Open Class encourages creative expression and provides an opportunity to learn contemporary dance technique and performance skills. There are opportunities each term to be involved in a performance.

The class is open to anyone with a learning disability aged 16 years and over who loves to dance. It also provides an entry point for dancers who would like to join Anjali’s Main Company.

The fee is £90.00 per term.

We offer taster sessions for new dancers. For more information please telephone 01295 251909.

Delivered in partnership with the Unity Theatre, LAUNCH is a professional development programme for emerging theatre makers in Merseyside.

Its main mission is to equip emerging artists, theatre-makers and brand new companies with the right tools to enable them to launch a career in the arts.

This is our original group for young people aged 14-21 who meet in Liverpool. We make plays that mash up dance, spoken word, music, song, street dance and even puppetry! If you are interested in any of these art forms and want to make challenging plays with a difference.

Email lucy@20storieshigh.org.uk or call 0151 708 9728.

Blue Apple’s dance programme is designed to be a fun and creative means of developing fitness and self-expression.

"Dance helps to develop creativity, confidence and mobility. It’s also a great way to engage in exercise and is lots of fun!”

Some of us are natural dancers, but have not had the discipline of dancing with others in a routine before. Many have only danced to pop music and some are too shy to have done much of that. At Blue Apple we began by learning to be aware of others in the dance group, to move in time with each other, to react and respond, learn and remember a routine.

Through dance people with differing degrees of mobility have to think about timing and moving together, being aware of where each person is, responding to music and remembering a simple routine which may involve working in a circle, in pairs or as part of a large choreographed group. People who have never danced before appear delighted with their achievement.

We develop our dance experience in many ways. Some of us dance because we just love dancing and music and want to get fit. Some dance to help tell the story in our main shows and others tour commissioned dance performances locally and nationally.

Classes follow the school academic term.

£88 per term payable in one or two instalments. (£83 if already a Blue Apple Company member).
