Flamingo Chicks
Dear SEN friends,
New, free, accessible dance classes to keep disabled children moving during lockdown!
Linked to the national curriculum for added learning.
Makaton signed and with adaptations throughout, classes include ways parents/carers/teachers can support children with limited mobility and translate different movements.
Ideal to be shown at home as well as in schools, hospitals or hospices.
First up, SPACE THEME: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zxhu2oh--8c
PLEASE HELP US REACH ALL 770,000 DISABLED KIDS IN THE UK by SHARING!

Travel to space with @flamingochicks’ #activelearning dance classes. Designed specifically for disabled children and their families, Makaton signed and adapted for a range of abilities: www.flamingochicks.org/athome
*plus* Resources for added learning:
- Sensory Science experiments with Dr Sarah Bearchell
- Sensory arts and crafts with Designer, Sam Williams
- Inclusion themed stories read by celebrities (with Makaton)
- Guided relaxation for parents/carers
… all available here: www.flamingochicks.org/athome
There will be at least 1 new theme coming each week! These classes are suitable for children with a wide variety of needs, including those with complex medical needs or life limiting conditions as well as children with learning disabilities and physical impairments.
They’re equally engaging for children without additional needs too, so perfect for siblings to join in.
We’d love to know what you think! Please let us know or post on social media using #balletnotbarriers #activelearning
Thank you and enjoy! Katie
