Synergy Dance Outreach’s mission is to ensure that no one is left behind by creating joyful, inclusive opportunities that empower children, young people, adults and active ageing communities of all abilities to stay active through dance, yoga and fitness.
The charity champions equality, diversity and inclusion through a unique end-to-end model that combines inclusive activity delivery, workforce CPD training and employment opportunities for people with lived experience of disability. By delivering programmes within some of the UK’s most complex environments – including schools, community settings, care environments and children’s hospitals – Synergy drives meaningful, measurable change that improves physical wellbeing, confidence, social connection and quality of life for people of all ages.
Where to find us
We target those children and adults who may be less suited to team sports and prefer a dance option to keep fit. We provide inclusive, creative, fun and effective mixed dance classes; fitness classes, yoga and wellbeing courses, Art/Dance workshops; cookery and nutrition workshops and dance parties. We want to keep the next generation healthy and to target inactivity and the growing problem of obesity. Participants with a limited range of movement or sight problems will find uplifting and inspiring activities at Synergy.
Our unique Synergy formula
We offer a taste of many different dance styles from Ballroom & Acrobatics to Break & Street, inspired by the aim to Synergize the many different dance forms: a unique and ground-breaking effect.
Combined with improvisation and pupil-led choreography, our program is reactive rather than prescriptive, and we work with what our clients want.
Will Norman
In an article by Will Norman it was noted that:
“Competitive sports will work for some people. But if we want to get the most inactive active, we need to change our thinking. We need a philosophy that’s driven by the people we are trying to target and not provide things that the most inactive don’t want to do”.
