Free to Dance (2008 – 2012)

This project involved teenage girls across Ayrshire, Glasgow and Orkney encouraging them get fit and feel good about themselves through dance. With funding from the Scottish Government Health Department we ran free dance sessions, offered performance opportunities and Award in Dance Leadership training courses as well as providing training for project partners.
