Looking for an inclusive dance class for your child in Lightsview?
LINKS is Restless Dance Theatre’s weekly inclusive dance and creative movement program for young people aged 5–12 years, now available at The Lights Community and Sports Centre in Lightsview.
Through playful dance and theatre games, creative storytelling and movement exploration, LINKS gives young people a welcoming space to move, create, connect and have fun.
You don’t need to be an experienced dancer to join. LINKS is designed to be inclusive and adaptable, welcoming young people with different abilities, experience levels and support needs.
LINKS is more than a traditional dance class. Each week, young people are encouraged to explore movement, imagination and creativity in their own way.
Classes may include:
It’s a social, recreational and creative space where young people can meet others, try something new and develop their own ways of moving and creating.
At Restless Dance Theatre, we believe everyone should have the opportunity to participate in dance and creative experiences.
Our tutors create classes that can be adapted to different bodies, abilities, communication styles, experience levels and support needs. Young people are encouraged to participate in ways that feel comfortable and meaningful for them.
Whether your child loves to dance, is curious about movement, enjoys being creative or is simply looking for a fun activity where they can connect with others, LINKS is a welcoming place to start.
