“This is a family. You are my family. And I love you to the end of the world and back. Thank you”.
Touching words to film from Jen Blackwell, Creative Founder of Dance Syndrome, said before their final show at Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
DanceSyndrome’s vision is to empower people with learning disabilities through inclusive dance.
Recently, DanceSyndrome asked myself (aarol films) to capture their performance in Edinburgh. We only had a minute after the show but I seen it as a good window to share the excitement from two of their dance leaders, David and Ellie as they reflect on visiting Edinburgh for the first time.
Keeping in spirit with National Inclusion week 2023, I want to give a shout out to Dance Syndrome who continue to provide new and exciting opportunities for people who may otherwise be excluded from mainstream dance.
