Flamingo Chicks

A sunny Friday morning with our gorgeous Hatching Chicks’ mums and babies! #Bristol #Dance #EveryoneActive #MumAndBaby #HatchingChicks

Gorgeous morning with our new cohort of mums and babies! 🐣 At Hatching Chicks, we welcome all parents, especially those facing extra challenges. Such a beautiful new venue too, thanks @raisedin_southmead for hosting us, and a warm welcome to our new volunteer, Mae! ✨

Joy, inclusion, and creativity! Brilliant time at ‘My Community Bristol’, organised by people who have learning disabilities. Led by Hannah and supported by our wonderful volunteers Alix, Moira and Julie, we filled the space with colour, laughter and positive energy! ✨

Dance teachers wanted in London & Bristol! Lead inclusive sessions bringing joy to diverse communities in schools, hospices, and community centers. We welcome applications from those with lived experiences and underrepresented backgrounds. flamingochicks.org/job-vacancy-te…

We welcomed Hannah Raynor to our latest Agents Of Change meeting! A dancer, actress and model, Hannah shared insights on inclusivity in performance. We made ribbon props, discussed how dance makes us feel, and ended with a boogie to @megantraino “I Feel Better When I’m Dancing”!

@MercureHydePark Sadly we are still waiting for this refund despite multiple attempts to contact you.

Did you know @FlamingoChicks runs adult classes too? Check out our joyful Silvacare session in Bristol! A burst of colour & energy, with everyone dancing—standing or seated, using space-themed props! #InclusiveDance #EveryoneDance #FeelGood

Our Agents of Change kicked off the term with a bang, welcoming Aidy Smith, the UK's only TV presenter with Tourette Syndrome! We discussed making media more accessible and practiced presenting our own shows. Huge thanks to Aidy for inspiring us!

A magical Flamingo Chicks’ takeover of the iconic Winton Gallery at the @sciencemuseum! Our dance linked movement with exhibits like the Enigma Machine & astronomical telescope, in a sensory-friendly event for 250 families. ✨ #BalletNotBarriers #STEM

What a team! 🙌 So much energy, passion, and joy in the room! 🦩💕 Our Dance Development Day was truly infectious! Filled with excitement as our incredible teachers came together to share ideas, explore new concepts, and collaborate to ramp up our magic and sparkle! ✨

Dads’ Dinner - Peer Support Parenting mentor @ouralteredlife hosted a dads’ dinner for us at @BrownsBrasserie, where S.E.N.D. dads connected over shared experiences. Only 9% of dads tell their boss they have a disabled child—spaces like this are vital. facebook.com/share/g/7F8cVx…

Reel description: a young boy wearing a flamingo chicks tshirt leads us into a John Lewis store where you can see the tutus on display, on child sized mannequins. The reel also shows adults and children interacting with the display.

Come and see the Tutu Takeover at @johnlewis with us! 15 celebs designed the most magical tutus, and each one was hand-crafted by our volunteers! Choose your favourite and own it at crowdfunder.co.uk/p/may-100-2024.

I LOVE this so much - my penguin tutu is great fun ! @FlamingoChicks

Teaching at the Vale School in Haringey is always a joy. "I love sharing dance with our Flamingo Chicks. Movement is great for the soul, offering freedom of expression and emotional release." – Jayne Bennett, Dance Lead
