Applications for Seedbed 2023 are open!
From April to July 2023 we will be joined by artists and dance teachers with a range of different lived experiences as well as inclusive dance expertise.
This is chance to connect with other like-minded artists and facilitators and begin evolving a more inclusive way of teaching young dance enthusiasts.
Book on for as many sessions as you want, or attend all twelve collectively, which will give teachers the opportunity to access our inclusive dance teaching syllabus for young people, IRIS, for free.
