Why the community needs usThe workshops DS provide to young people and adults with learning disabilities are ground-breaking, helping to build the person's confidence and providing great social, health and well-being outcomes. Participants come away with more belief in their own abilities. Seeing Dance Leaders with a learning disability can only inspire the person to see what they can achieve. There is a definite need for organisations like DanceSyndrome in the community" Quote: Adult LD Team, Lancashire Care NHS Trust
