Learning & Skills Development
DLG has been working with its members to co-curate a program of training interventions & ongoing skills development, as part of the 'DLG & Critical Mass What Next 2022-24' program.
These CPD skills sessions are free to access and aim to up-skill the West Midlands dance community. Suitable for all levels of experience and ability from emerging to established.
Workshops are led by experienced local artists and industry specialists, including members of the DLG community itself.
We aim to ensure all learning & skills sessions are made accessible and align to DLGs values around access and inclusion, but please get in touch if there is something we can do to support any additional needs and allow you to join us.
