Synergy Dance Outreach to deliver inclusive dance sessions at the Adapted Inspire Festival

Synergy Dance Outreach is thrilled to be part of the upcoming Adapted Inspire Festival, taking place on Tuesday 11th November at the Lee Valley Hockey & Tennis Centre, Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, London.

This inspiring event, designed for students in Years 7–11, brings together over 20 schools from across the region to take part in a day of inclusive and adaptive sports and creative activities. Each group of students will have the opportunity to enjoy a range of sessions tailored to support and celebrate diverse abilities.

As part of the festival’s exciting line-up, Synergy Dance Outreach will lead engaging, accessible dance sessions throughout the day. Our charity’s mission is to make movement, dance, and fitness inclusive and enjoyable for everyone, regardless of ability, background, or experience.

Through music, creativity, and movement, the Synergy team will encourage students to express themselves, build confidence and experience the joy of dance in a fun, supportive environment. The sessions are designed to be adaptive and fully inclusive—promoting teamwork, creativity, and wellbeing for all participants.

CEO Rachael Hurton shared:

“We’re delighted to bring our inclusive dance delivery to the Adapted Inspire Festival. It’s a wonderful opportunity for young people to explore movement in an inclusive setting and to celebrate all they can do. We look forward to inspiring every student to move, connect and have fun.”

Synergy Dance Outreach is proud to collaborate with schools and partners in championing inclusion and promoting active, healthy lifestyles for all.

We are incredibly proud to share Synergy Dance® Outreach’s recent appearance on TV for Comic Relief, highlighting one of our impactful outreach projects. This was a fantastic opportunity to share the power of inclusive fitness and dance, and how it transforms lives.

A true highlight of the feature was Sam, an inspiring young dancer whose journey has been nothing short of remarkable. Over the months, Sam has not only honed his dance skills but has also stepped up to assist in classes. His dedication, enthusiasm, and natural leadership abilities have now led him to Deputy Lead a class, a role in which he continues to inspire both his peers and instructors. Seeing him shine on screen was a powerful moment—his passion is contagious, bringing energy and joy to every session. He inspires us all.

At Synergy Dance® Outreach, we firmly believe in making dance and fitness accessible to all. Visiting our classes in person always reaffirms just how vital inclusive opportunities are for children and young people. Dance is more than movement—it’s a chance for self-expression, social connection and overall well-being. We witness firsthand how our sessions empower participants, helping them stay active, make friends, build confidence, and most importantly, have fun!

A huge thank you to Comic Relief for supporting our mission and amplifying our work, by helping to fund our assistants for this class – as well as to our dedicated class leader Ren, our longest serving Synergy teacher, and with us from the very start, our hardworking assistants, and the entire Synergy team. Your passion and commitment make moments like these possible! It’s a total team effort.

We look forward to expanding our outreach and creating many more opportunities for children and young people to thrive through dance and fitness.
