A free dance show, suitable for neurodiverse children, young people and adults, will arrive in Whitehaven next month.

SLiDE will present Jack & Friends, a vibrant and interactive dance performance at Whitehaven’s United Reformed Church Hall, James Street, on Tuesday March 4 at 5pm. 

Inspired by Jack’s love of musicals, pantomimes, and Strictly Come Dancing, this joyful show invites audiences of all ages to join the fun.

With a high-energy finale that turns into a disco, Jack & Friends encourages everyone to dance, move, and express themselves in a relaxed, welcoming environment.

Designed to be fully inclusive, all performances allow audience members to come and go freely, making it particularly suitable for children, young people, and neurodiverse adults with sensory or communication needs.

Ange Swainson, of SLiDE Dance, said: “Jack and Friends is a brilliant show – which all the family will love. It’s also a relaxed performance in an informal environment. 

“At SLiDE we believe it’s important for the audience to be themselves, to move around, make noises and come and go from the performance space. 

“This environment may be particularly suitable for neurodiverse children, young people and adults who may have autism, learning difficulties and other sensory or communication needs.”

It runs for 60 minutes and is suitable for ages five and up.

Free tickets are available from https://bit.ly/3WXof5q
