SB Elevate® Orkney
A dance and community project for people living with MS
Scottish Ballet, The Royal Conservatoire Scotland, Orkney MS Society, The Pickaquoy Centre are delighted to announce the launch of SB Elevate® Orkney classes.
Elevate is a dance programme for people living with multiple sclerosis (MS). Developed by Scottish Ballet, the overall aim of Elevate is to positively impact health and wellbeing through dance, music and community.
The classes are completely free to attend and free transport will be provided for those who require it.
What to expect
These fully accessible classes are open to people living with MS, as well as family members, friends and carers. No dance experience is required, and the movement is fully adaptable to meet your needs.
Every class will be accompanied by live music. Experienced dance artists will offer support and guidance, ensuring you have a safe and fun experience.
Arguably the most important part of these classes is the social café where you can enjoy some well-earned tea and biscuits after class.
No need to buy any special clothing, just wear something cool and comfortable to move in.
