Horizons Glasgow

Horizons Glasgow is our Glasgow based inclusive youth dance company for dancers aged 12 – 25, with and without disabilities. Dancers develop their technical dance skills and take part in choreographic workshops and performance opportunities throughout the year. 

Horizons was established in 2015 through the "Let's Dance" European Exchange project involving dancers from Scotland, Germany, Spain, and the Netherlands. Our goal is simple, making dance accessible to all, regardless of background or ability. 

Horizons meets monthly in Glasgow, guided by YDance artists Aimee Friel and Zac McMillan. We focus on enhancing movement skills, creativity, confidence, and friendships. In 2023/2024, we'll unveil a new dance piece premiering at YDance Destinations at the Beacon Theatre in Greenock and later in the year in Glasgow. 

What makes Horizons special is our dedication to inclusivity. Our team is trained in inclusive practices, offering engaging dance workshops for young people with disabilities, ensuring everyone can explore their creativity. 

Join us at Horizons, where dance knows no boundaries, and everyone is welcome. Discover the transformative world of inclusive dance and experience the joy of Horizons Glasgow!
