Brighton dance teachers take disabled classes to the States

Parable Dance, based in Brighton, leads nationwide dance classes for people with disabilities, and hopes to continue its success by launching in New York.

Co-founders Natasha Britton and Erica Moshman will also teach in Oslo, Norway, this May, having launched the business just over two years ago.

“We are thrilled that we’ve expanded enough to be able to take this exciting step,” said Natasha.

“The UK is seen as a leader in inclusive dance approaches and we feel proud to be able to take these methods to the US to support the next generations of dancers and teachers there.”

Erica will take the lead on projects in the States for Parable Dance NY, while Natasha maintains the company’s UK branch.
