Alternatively, if you fancy getting involved but don’t want to compete on a world stage - your local Para Dance group would be the ideal place to start. There are groups across the UK where members regularly meet to learn, stay active and enjoy dancing together. Whilst also building friendships and becoming part of an inclusive, non-judgmental community.

Although like many people living with disabilities, members of the Para Dance community are currently shielding against the coronavirus, leaving them isolated from family, friends, and the things they hold dear like dancing. Because of this, there has been an unspoken mental health crisis sweeping through households across the UK, whose impact is greater on the most vulnerable. Therefore, Para Dance UK has created a dance challenge aimed at uniting, uplifting and inspiring people everywhere, whilst also letting the world know that mental matters by dancing away isolation.
