The group is set to perform in New York in 2024
A Glasgow charity has been giving disabled dancers the opportunity to perform globally. Indepen-dance was founded by Karen Anderson in 1996 with the aim of ensuring the physical activity was inclusive to all.
"At the same time in my life I had always danced. Like most of the west of Scotland and children of Glasgow you went dancing at the weekend. "My first dance class was awful, really bad, because I didn't know how to make it inclusive. So that was the start of a journey. However, despite the global success Karen struggles to pick out just one highlight as there's so many to choose from.
"Taking the company to work with international organisations has always been a highlight. Our professional touring company has went to Japan, Australia, Bangkok, Finland, all over Europe, Canada and we were supposed to go off Broadway in March 2020. "A lot of people when they have a child born with a disability see the medical model and the social model conflict. The medical model says this person will not be able to do a variety of things but the social model says if you put things in place then this is what people can achieve.
