Parable Dance UK deliver inclusive dance classes in the south east of England, Parable Dance NY deliver inclusive dance classes in New York and both companies deliver inclusive dance training, mentoring and consultancy worldwide.
At Parable Dance UK we want everyone to have access to art and to work inclusively. We believe that dance has the ability to unite communities, develop confidence, and maximise mental and physical health and wellbeing. People of all ages with disabilities engaging in our dance workshops have the opportunity to be creative, active, and social. Everyone has a unique ability. We hold the following values:
1
Accessibility
To make dance available for people with disabilities who may have limited –if any– access to dance, art, and community.
2
Inclusivity
Leaders facilitate and guide classes rather than teach in order to enable a focus on ability rather than disability. All participants’ ideas are respected and everyone contributes to create a dance piece. Movements are therefore suitable for every 'body'.
3
Progression
Guided by our facilitators, participants learn dance technique, performance skills and create choreography.
4
Development
Training schemes and consultations to enable other artists and teachers to develop their skills in inclusive practice.
5
Enjoyment
To offer enriching social experiences through fun and engaging dance workshops.
Incredibly trustworthy, professional, and caring. They value high quality, honest engagement no matter the scale or scope of the project
Highly professional in all aspects of their work; passionate about inclusion and individuals having quality opportunities to flourish
