About Magpie Dance

Most Inspirational Inclusive Dance Charity – UK

<p>Magpie Dance, founded in 1985, is a charity that bases its values and approach on the social model of disability – it is up to society to find a way of including people rather than excluding because of disability. Since the beginning, the aim was for the dancers to have as many opportunities as possible to perform and collaborate with different companies and artists. This remains vital to Magpie Dance today which has now grown from a 45-minute session per week, to 16 sessions per week plus outreach workshops – enabling over 500 people with learning disabilities (aged 3+) to access regular dance activity sessions each year. Through dance, participants gain significant life, social and communication skills with measurable health and wellbeing benefits.<br /> www.magpiedance.org.uk</p>
