Dance Warriors on Stage

Helen Coppins is raising money for Nottinghamshire Down's Syndrome Support Group

My story

Dance Warriors are an amazing group of children, young people and adults. The group is part of NDSSG’s work in the Nottingham community, and runs every week.

Dance Warriors has just over 50 members, ranging from 7 to 43 years and all have learning disabilities. And they are united in a love of dance.

On Saturday 22 April, they will be performing their first ever show. We have hired a theatre and the dancers are so excited about getting to perform on stage in front of family, friends and the wider community.

However, we would love to make them feel extra special and to really look the part! Our dancers (and support workers) all have a T-shirt to wear with the Dance Warriors logo on, but we would love to have some special props and accessories to enhance it.

We don’t want anything fancy, just some cheap additional bits and bobs to enhance their dances - like caps, headbands, leg warmers, top hats and bow ties.

These will be used time and time again, as the dancers will, I’m sure, be doing many more performances after this.

We want to raise £300 towards this, which works out at around £5-6 per dancer/support worker.

If you can help in any way, that would be amazing! Thank you!

Edited to say… Wow! Thank you so much everyone! We reached our initial £300 goal in just a few hours. To all those who donated - you are amazing!!

But we have talked as a staff group and decided that, if we are able to raise any more money, we will use it to create programmes for the show, that the parents and dancers will be able to keep as memories of the day. And get both a professional photographer and videographer along to record the memories.
