DanceSense is a project run by Independent Arts for people who have neurological conditions which affect their movement.
We are looking for a volunteer who can help support participants to join in safely and confidently. Sessions are led by a qualified professional.
DanceSense sessions last one hour and participants can take part seated or standing.
Volunteers should be fit and able to complete a gentle 60 minute dance class. It is important that volunteers have good flexibility and balance as participants may lean on them at times during the sessions.
A passion for dance is essential, but no formal training required.
Sessions take place weekly in Newport (Camp Hill Community Club) on Monday mornings.
