🌟 Parable Dance believe dance is for everyone — celebrating inclusion, creativity, and connection through movement. This year, they’ll be lighting up the stage with two amazing performances — one from their youth group and one from their adult dancers! Each piece celebrates individuality, teamwork, and the joy that dance brings. 💫

🎶 Flashback Dance Crew (Spiral Sussex) are a brilliant community group of adults with learning difficulties and/or neurodiversities who dance alongside volunteers. Together, they create and choreograph their own performances — fully inclusive, creative, and full of heart. ❤️

Their 2025 piece, ‘Music Royalty’, celebrates the kings and queens of music — chosen by the performers themselves. 👑🎤

We can’t wait to see both groups shine on stage at Dance Active 2025! ✨
