💃 Inclusive Creative Workshop with Lauren Russell + Molly Wright

A relaxed, creative dance workshop for young people aged 11–18 with physical, sensory and/or learning disabilities.

No experience needed - just a space to move, explore, express and connect in whatever way works for you.

Lauren Russell is a Midlands-based inclusive dance artist, performer and producer. With a background in SEND education, she now works with companies including Propel (the UK’s only professional all-wheelchair dance company), Sense, ID Dance and Sidekick to make dance more accessible and expressive for all.

Molly Wright is a community and intergenerational dance artist, founder of Damn Fine Dance (60+ company), with a long track record of creating work across the UK. Her focus is simple: bringing people together through movement.

This is about confidence, creativity and finding your own way to move.

📣 Please share with anyone who might be interested - families, schools, youth groups, support workers… anyone who needs it on their radar!
