Dance ON Lockdown

Project title

Dance ON Lockdown

Description of initiative

Ludus Dance uses dance as a tool of expression and trust, building on strength and recognising potential, to change and enhance people’s lives. Working across a wide range of social, educational and mental health and wellbeing settings, and especially with children and young people who have a limited access to high quality experiences, we create vital opportunities through work that is bespoke, collaborative and inclusive. Dance ON Lockdown is an initiative, proposed by Ludus Dance, dedicated for all the home-schoolers and in-schoolers and anyone who wanted to stay positive, keep moving and get creative. The Ludus Dance organized LIVE Facebook sessions twice a week for free. Designed for children aged 4 to 11 years but not excluding their parents and carers or siblings, these sessions helped participants to move, create and imagine new and wonderful surroundings. The sessions were led by the fully trained and experienced Dance Development Officers and saved to their You Tube channel.
