CoDa Dance Company present "Let's face the MS and dance"

An evening of dance and collaboration

Let's face the MS and dance

Over 10 weeks, a group of people with MS (multiple sclerosis) have been working with dance professionals to create a piece of dance that expresses things they face on a daily basis.

Dance has been shown to have great benefits on health and wellbeing. This project aims to develop peoples balance, co-ordination and proprioception through weekly dance classes.

The group has been working creatively to develop their own movement style and create their own art work of dance.

We have the pleasure of working with a live musician for some of the classes, and alongside the group, we have created a sound score specifically for this dance.

Inspire

The group "INSPIRE" consists of South-London born youths, ranging from the ages of 11-19.

The group formed at the TRC, Wandsworth where the ethos is to build a sense of community and common ground between young people, where young people are embraced, welcomed and encouraged to be themselves.

The group's passion for dance centres around the urban genre, however the group are open-minded and enthusiastic about developing their skills in a range of different dance styles.

The group's aims are "To inspire, To create and To join together", embracing diversity and individuality into their routines.

They are bubbly, energetic and vibrant in their nature and although many of them, have faced challenges in their lives, they have used their experiences to express themselves in a positive and unique way.

With a love for dance and the potential to succeed, these young people can achieve if they believe!

With the right encouragement and opportunity, they can go a long way.
