There is something irresistibly crowd pleasing about the experience of being gathered in a circle, singing and dancing together!
This song and dance resource has been developed for working with young people with special educational needs and disabilities by our Inclusive Folk tutor Emmie Ward.
The resource starts with a ceilidh activity which will get everyone warmed up and learning some dance steps. This is followed by three songs that involve dancing.
The songs and dances are designed to be inclusive of disabled people, including wheelchair users, those with limited mobility, people with learning disabilities and complex needs and people with sensory impairments.
his resource is created as part of EFDSS' Inclusive Folk Project, supported by John Lyon's Charity.

About the English Folk Dance and Song Society’s Resource Bank
The Resource Bank collects together hundreds of practical materials for use in formal and informal teaching and learning contexts, in schools and also in community settings. All of the materials are free and downloadable. They make imaginative use of folk song, music, dance, drama and other arts.
The resources have developed out of innovative projects and initiatives run by the English Dance and Song Society Education team over the past decade or so. You can find resources suitable for your subject or setting by filtering by Topic, Key Stage and/or Audience.
The Resource Bank was developed through The Full English project with funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund.
