Promoting Health

Helping Communities

SkyeDance run Inter-generational Projects where our Dance Officers teach taster workshops in primary schools throughout the term, invite the children to visit people in nursing/care homes to connect with the older generation by performing routines that they have worked on over the term. The purpose of this is to help prevent the feeling of loneliness, especially with the Isle of Skye being such a rural location.

Getting to help out in the community and be involved with local events are always exciting opportunities for us. SkyeDance were selected as a chosen charity by Co-op Community Funding in late 2022 and have also helped out at events organised by Light up Portree and Skye Events. We also run our own events, including our annual showcase where we invite local dance groups to perform alongside our dance  groups, it’s always a fun, positive atmosphere!
