Dancing Days: using folk arts in inclusive settings
Three folk dances that also involve singing: this resource has been developed for working with young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) by Inclusive Folk tutors Emmie Ward and Roary Neat.
The booklet includes sheet music, lyrics and more information about the songs and dances, which originate from the Cotswolds and the North-East of England.
There is also audio to download.
This 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.
We champion folk music and dance at the heart of cultural life, all across England.
Donations provide immediate support. But even more than that, they prove that so many people value what we do – helping us to secure funding from partner organisations.
