Phil Storey, Chief Executive for Pendle Leisure Trust, said: “We have some fantastic private dance schools in the area that teach to a high skill level, but we feel there isn’t enough provision for people who want to dance without having to take exams. We want to look at how we can provide dance for everyone.”
To test this theory, Ludus is running this series of workshops and taster sessions. This will culminate in a Flashmob dance on Saturday, April 9th and afterwards there will be a chance for everyone involved in the workshops to come together and share what they have learned over the week.
Mr Storey added: “We are really excited about this and we hope as many people as possible will join us for this pretty unique event.
“We are working with lots of different partners and Ludus Dance to ultimately come up with a dance strategy for Pendle and open up more opportunities for all our different communities.
“Pendle Leisure Trust has sports centres that are open to all and now we want to fill the gap for dance.”
Ludus Dance is based in Lancaster and offers community dance classes, develops community projects and creates original contemporary dance performances for young people and families.
