Aerial School with Every BODY Dance

What a fantastic day in the sunshine with everyBODYdance.

Pupils from classes Staffa and Skye were given the opportunity to work with Rachel and our very own dance specialists Linda and Ruth from Waterbaby Dance Company.

The staff spent time getting to know the pupils and letting them explore the equipment before getting in on the action. This was very important for some of our pupils who have autism and require extra time to process and try a new experiences.
