Celebrating 'Dance with Siobhan Marshall'

We love hearing about all the groups that our members are involved in across Scotland, we recently heard about a new dance group for young adults with additional needs run by Siobhan Marshall in Perth which several of our members are part of.

Siohban tells us;

“I first met this amazing group 5 years ago at a class I used to teach at Perth Theatre called Let’s Dance. I absolutely loved working with them and I recognised a huge potential in them. 

Just last year I had the idea of doing a summer week and monthly weekend workshops. The weekend workshops run 10-3 Saturday and Sunday once every 2 months with the hope of building this up to even more. 

I found the weekend workshops work really well and the social aspect means a lot to the group as well as the dance training. I am hoping to grow the group, the classes, the teachers and the training. 

Whilst we have done small group performances our biggest performance was in January to 150 people on a stage in Perth. We have also just been invited to perform at the Creative Day of Dance performing a piece on the Concert Hall stage. 

I just know that this group and project is going to go far.”

Well done everyone, we wish you all the success in your future shows and we know you will achieve great things! If you would like to find out more about the group please email Siobhan Marshall at siobhan_marshall_@hotmail.com.
