Stopgap Dance Company worked with partners Norfolk & Norwich Festival and DanceEast, as well as various local schools, to train dance teachers and to engage young people in the area to participate.
Our funding also enabled them to perform a large-scale outdoor production, The Seafarers, in Great Yarmouth as part of Norfolk & Norwich Festival in May 2018.
In May 2019 the Norfolk and Suffolk dance groups performed a piece called Frippery outside the Forum in Norwich as part of the Without Walls Festival. The project’s legacy will be the provision of high quality, specialised dance teacher training teaching as well as increased levels of participation in dance, and especially inclusive dance.
Project aims
- Deliver inclusive dance classes for young people in Norfolk & Suffolk.
