3 days to reflect, reconnect and recharge ✨

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for ReCharge. Three days of learning, sharing and exploring inclusive dance practice together. We hope you took away as much from the experience as we did.

Thank you to Dance Base and The Work Room for their support.

Join the National Youth Dance Company of Scotland ⭐️⁠
⁠
Applications are now open for our 2026/27 company, and we’re looking for talented dancers aged 16–21 to join us.⁠
⁠
This opportunity is completely free and, if you’re thinking about pursuing dance as a career, there’s no experience quite like National Youth Dance Company of Scotland. Train with leading choreographer Charlotte McLean (), develop your skills, and perform alongside other young dancers from across the country.⁠

SEED 🌱⭐️

SEED is a powerful professional dance performance created by Just US Dance Company choreographers Lesley Howard and Clare Adam, as part of YDance's Beyond Horizons project.

Touring ASN schools across North and South Lanarkshire, the work brought high-quality dance directly into school communities, creating access, breaking down barriers and opening up meaningful opportunities for engagement.

Exploring themes of hope, responsibility and connection, SEED highlights the impact of inclusive dance practice while creating valuable professional pathways for disabled dancers.
