Transforming perceptions and lives through inclusive dance
Our work
We deliver transformative inclusive dance classes in the South East and expert training, mentoring, and consultancy worldwide, leading the way in inclusive practice. To learn more about our story watch our founder video.
Who it’s for
We believe everyone should have access to dance. Movement brings people together, builds confidence, and supports mental and physical wellbeing. Parable leads with dance, but our impact goes further, creating spaces where disabled people are valued, capable, and inspired.
Community
Our community projects offer high-quality dance opportunities for people of all ages with special educational needs and disabilities, helping participants to be creative, stay physically active, and build meaningful social connections.
We run weekly classes across Sussex, holiday clubs, and alternative (school) provision in Brighton. We also deliver workshops and bespoke dance projects in schools and adult services across the South East, ensuring dance is accessible, engaging, and tailored to each community we work with.
Professional development
Our UK wide professional development programmes empower individuals and organisations to strengthen their inclusive dance practice, develop new skills, and build lasting professional networks.
We partner with universities, dance companies, schools, and organisations to embed inclusive practice across their work. Our support is tailored to your needs, delivered through CPD workshops, mentoring, and consultancy that equips your team to lead confidently in inclusive dance.
Individuals can also join our mentoring programmes and professional networks, connecting with peers and experienced practitioners to grow their skills and confidence in inclusive dance practice.

Whether you’re looking for classes or professional support, our services offer clear pathways to get involved.

Testimonials
“Incredibly trustworthy, professional, and caring. They value high quality, honest engagement no matter the scale or scope of the project”
Elaine Foley, Projects Manager, Learning & Engagement, Sadler’s Wells“I have seen too many young dance artists fall out of inclusive dance practice work due to lack of infrastructure and networks… I can attest that Parable are indeed plugging a huge gap in this part of the industry. And it’s timely.”
Louise Katerega, Head of Professional Development, People Dancing“She has come home every day looking taller and more grown up. Excited to get up in the morning and come. I have been blown away by seeing the performance. I'm just so proud seeing all the dancers and to see my daughter lead and dance a long routine so well. Just amazing.”
