Brian has taught movement sessions in person and online to those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) for 17 years.

He has developed a practice that is truly inclusive, and a dance class template that reaches every need that he has come across. These sessions are about hitting developmental targets, providing opportunity to make choices, improving in confidence and ultimately having fun.

Choice is key in these sessions as many SEND students lack the ability and/or accessibility to make everyday choices in their lives eg choice of clothing, choice of food, choice in where they go etc. Small opportunities to choose the next song, activity, routine etc are scattered throughout.

Brian teaches as a freelancer and also for the Royal Academy of Dance. He also delivers CPD training sessions to fellow educators on how to make their dance/movement/PE sessions more inclusive.

I'm in the process of developing SEND video content to form a social media presence for that strand of my work (Move to Include).
