About
About the Group
Steps for the Future, is a Derby based dance and music performance group for adults with learning disabilities, physical disabilities and mental health issues.
The work is led by the group members themselves throughout the process of developing performance. This participant-led approach helps the group members to develop independence, and confidence.
Participants are able to freely express their creativity without having to adhere to any existing performance conventions. The warm and open atmosphere of the group results in genuine enjoyment, with members throwing themselves into performance with enthusiasm and confidence.
Steps for the Future is a volunteer run non profit organisation which currently meets once a week in Derby city centre.
The Future?
Steps for the Future is growing all the time, and ultimately would like to be able to offer groups for a wider range of abilities. Presently participants from non-white backgrounds are underrepresented in the group; we would like to increase our ethnic diversity to reflect our open and encompassing ethos of performance for all.
