Dance: 10 Week Course in Inclusive Dance at Dance Cork Firkin Crane
Inclusive Dance Cork (IDC) is delighted to announce a 10-week training programme for people with and without disabilities who are interested in learning inclusive dance methods, starting this September, at Dance Cork Firkin Crane.
The programme will focus on exploring expressive movement and supporting dancers of all abilities. Participants will have the opportunity to learn new dance skills, develop confidence, and experience a sense of belonging through inclusive dance practice.
Enrolment is open to adults (ages 18 and over) of all abilities, with or without previous experience in dance. Most important is a love of movement, an openness to learning new things, and an interest in working in an inclusive environment. The course is free to attend.
The programme will run on Thursday mornings from 10am to 1pm, with additional afternoon sessions for QQI students from 2.30pm to 5pm, between 4 September and 20 November at Dance Cork Firkin Crane, Shandon, Cork. (Please note no classes on 18 September and 2 October).
All participants will also be offered the chance to gain a QQI Level 4 certification in Teamworking (Module 4N1169). This module equips learners with the knowledge, skills, and competence to take part effectively as a member of a team. It includes understanding the dynamics of team collaboration, stages of team development, and strengthening communication, problem-solving, and conflict resolution skills in a team setting.
To apply, please email IDC Project Coordinator, [email protected] expressing your interest before the 22 August. We will be inviting all applicants, as we receive them, for an informal interview or meet and greet online session. Spaces are however limited so early application is advised.
If you have any further questions or queries you are welcome to contact:
