For Strictly Social we give over our main space to a ballroom dance session for the whole community.  The fully accessible space is decorated to make the session feel special with bunting, disco lights and music.  Add some refreshments, our brilliant dance tutor and your willing volunteers, and we have a safe, welcoming space where people from across the community can come together, get moving and have some fun. 

The session is led by our experienced community dance instructor, who guides the group in learning some simple dance moves on the day – something everyone can do.  Dance is taught to the group as a whole, with individuals mirroring each other. Once everyone is feeling comfortable, there’s the opportunity to dance in pairs before mixing it all up at the end and letting people dance or socialise as they prefer.  Volunteers will be asked to help set up, prepare and serve refreshments and take a step on the dance floor themselves.
