Here are the latest updates I could verify about Indepen-dance from public sources:
- Indepen-dance marked 2025 as a milestone year and highlighted that 2026 would be their 30th anniversary, with a retrospective look at 2025 and plans for the upcoming year. They posted a year-in-review-style video focusing on highlights and gratitude to members, staff, volunteers, and funders.[1][6]
- The organization continues to share news and events through its own site, including upcoming training workshops and newsletters (Autumn 2025, Spring 2025, Summer 2025) and event updates like AGM and Winter Sharing in 2024, indicating ongoing engagement opportunities for participants and supporters.[2]
- Indepen-dance has a documented history as an inclusive dance company founded in 1996 by Karen Anderson, with a sustained program of weekly sessions, performances, and involvement for disabled and non-disabled participants.[3]
- The group’s activities and impact have been recognized in broader contexts, such as their participation in national diversity-focused discussions and showcases (e.g., SDS National Voice presentations).[9]
- Grant data indicates ongoing external support, with a record of grants awarded to Indepen-Dance (Scotland) through 2025, totaling across multiple funders and amounts, reflecting continued fundraising and grant activity.[5]
If you’d like, I can:
- Pull more detailed recent news items or newsletters from Indepen-dance’s site.
- Compile a concise timeline of key events from 2024–2026.
- Create a quick summary of opportunities (auditions, workshops, AGM dates) for Dallas-area participants or supporters looking to engage with Indepen-dance’s network.
Would you like me to drill down on a particular aspect (e.g., upcoming events, anniversary activities, or funding updates)?
