On 1st February we held our first Comotion Dance music therapy session in the community led by the lovely Linda. We chose a small space in St Leonards and about seven children and young people attended with their families. The smaller space meant the children were more readily engaged in the session and they seemed to thoroughly enjoy themselves. The session lasted an hour with different types of music and props for the young people to interact with, followed by drinks and snacks.

As a first session organised by Shades of Different this was a great success and we are planning on running more sessions locally in St Leonards at this type of venue (St Leonards and St Ives Village Hall – Russell Room). We are hoping to run these sessions on a monthly basis depending obviously on the venue and Linda’s availability. Below are some of the pictures showing Miki enjoying herself.
