An Uplifting Dance Adventure

At SLiDE, you’ll meet Jack and his friends as they embark on an exciting quest to create their ultimate dream dance sequence. Jack loves musicals and pantomimes, and he needs your help to bring his vision to life. This joyous performance celebrates friendship, belonging, and independence through live music and dance. It’s filled with opportunities to join in, so come prepared to show off your best moves!

A Relaxed and Inclusive Event

SLiDE is more than just a performance. It’s a neurodiverse-friendly event designed for children, young people, and adults with autism, learning difficulties, or sensory needs. The informal setting allows everyone to feel at ease. You’re welcome to move around, make noise, or even step out of the performance space if needed. Families with children over five will find this a perfect outing, and it’s also a great choice for older neurodiverse audiences.

Fun Beyond the Performance

The dance adventure doesn’t end when the show is over. After the 45-minute performance, the fun continues with a lively disco. It’s a chance for everyone to connect, celebrate, and dance the evening away in a friendly, inclusive environment.
