We've been sitting with everything shared in the recent #BeyondBarriers webinar. A powerful reminder that inclusion in dance isn't optional - it's everyone's responsibility. As a company who already focus on pathways into dance, there's going to be a lot to reflect on and start implementing here!

As a #dancer, I never miss a chance to catch an international act that's touring near me, and it's so humbling when other professionals and enthusiasts do the same when Neon makes a trip. This will be our furthest journey so far, of course! Thanks @rollingstone.com Australia for ft. Last & First Men

The latest Neon Dance project is here… a sound installation activated by the moving body!
We think Sonic Body Lab might just be the perfect half-term activity if you’re in Swindon (or fancy a trip to their famous Designer Outlet… bc every shopping trip needs wearable sound sculptures, am I right?!)
