By Emma Mallam and the Local Motion Dancers, Barry
Set up in 2008, Local Motion Dance Company is a dance class specifically designed for young people with disabilities. They meet every Thursday at the YMCA where they improvise movements to create, learn & enjoy dance pieces that they perform at local events such as the Barry Waterfront, V Factor and Vale Dance Show. The tutors Sophie Squires & Sam Barnett are fully qualified and inspire the dancers to express themselves through dance.
