Dance Sparc <Dancesparc>


The DANCE SPARC is an exciting & inclusive community dance project which provides access to DANCE for 17-24 year olds across West Dunbartonshire. This project is funded by the Big Lottery's Active Futures Fund, West Dunbartonshire Youth Trust, & supported by West Dunbartonshire Community Planning Partnership.

Unfortunately funding is now coming to an end for this project, and the programme is being wound down, although efforts are being made to try and secure further funding. However, strategies have been put into place in order to continue the three most successful elements of the project in the meantime: Street Performance Group, Breakdance & Dance Workout (aimed specifically at young mums as a free crèche is provided).

Further details about these classes can be found in the blog below.
