In Motion – Dance for wheelchair users
Let your creativity flourish and gain the confidence to move in new ways through our specialist wheelchair dance programme, In Motion.
Classes are designed to develop your strength, flexibility and creative expression through Northern Ballet’s unique training methods. Working in a supportive environment with our expert dance artists, you can explore movement either in or out of a wheelchair and be inspired to create your own movement.
Classes are suitable for wheelchair users of any ability (manual or powered) from age 8 years to adult. Carers are welcome and are invited to join in the class.
You can dance in your own chair or use one of our specialist dance wheelchairs if you prefer.
Please note that this course is currently fully booked. If you would like to join the waiting list, please call our Reception team on 0113 220 8000. It's likely that some places will become available in May.

The course exceeded my expectations... it’s brilliant to be able to whiz around in a wheelchair at some speed and in much more interesting ways that I usually do at home... The standard of teaching is high and staff have been supportive, flexible and adaptable to our needs. The course has challenged me and enabled me to improve so many things!Participant
Price
Attendance costs £8 per class, or £7.20 if you have a Breeze Pass.
We offer a free space for carers to join in with the class. We ask that you let us know via the booking form if a carer will be attending the sessions with you. You do not need to book an additional ticket for them.
Please note that bookings will close to new participants after Sunday 2 June. This is in order to facilitate the creation of a group choreography by the end of the 10-week course.
