In Motion

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 self-propelling wheelchair users of any dance ability (manual or powered chair) from age eight years to adult. Carers are welcome and are invited to join in the class.

Bookings for In Motion 2026 are now closed.

"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!"

Cost

Attendance costs £5.50 per class, or £4.95 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, bookings will close to new participants after week 5 (Sunday 14 June) in order to facilitate the creation of a group choreography by the end of the course.
