Luna is 5 and she is pure fire — sassy, bossy, endlessly inquisitive, and absolutely hilarious. She’s on the autism pathway and has sensory processing disorder, which means the world is loud, bright, and overwhelming in ways most people never see. Life is hard for Luna, but her disability will never hold her back. We live life fully, with holidays and weekend adventures to show her all that the world has to offer, and as long as she has her disability pram and her beloved Gabby blanket, she feels safe and happy. She adores all things princess and girly, loves having her nails done, and takes great joy in doing mummy’s makeup. Luna is incredible — so strong, so determined. I nearly lost her to cellulitis when she was just three weeks old, but she fought with everything she had, proving even then what a little warrior she is. She is my whole world, my miracle, and the light that pulled me out of the darkest time of my life. ❤️

We've had some fun tonight watching Elsie and Layla dancing 😂

I love the totally organic friendship these two have 🥰

Layla is 10, nearly 11, though she’s so tall people often think she’s much older. She’s autistic with ADHD and a PDA profile, and right now she’s learning that she doesn’t need to mask or change herself to fit in — that who she is, just as she is, is enough. School and friendships can be really hard for her, and she works so incredibly hard every day, even when it doesn’t show on the outside. She has the biggest passions: she’s completely obsessed with Hamilton and SIX, loves crafting and making things, and finds so much joy in dancing and learning new routines. She has the most beautiful bond with our puppy Cooper, who she adores, and she loves animals with her whole heart. Layla treasures her two best friends deeply and is a loving big sister to Luna, who is autistic too. She is kind, creative, sensitive, and extraordinary — and I am so proud of her❤️

Hi, I'm Harriet! I'm 7 years old and a whirlwind of excitement! From the moment I entered this world, I fought like a warrior. From nearly loosing my life at birth to being immobile as a toddler due to hip dysplasia, I have shown my true determination. Being the only girl amongst my brothers I fully embrace my feisty attitude! Life is still pretty difficult for me as I tackle many hospital appointments and assessments in hope for a better future. I can really make it known I am in the room and many people seem to know me (some even before they meet me!) I am super sociable and like to know everyone's name...even if they're not having a conversation with me!

As you can see, I have problems with my vision and my hearing, I also struggle with processing information. It's tricky following directions, particularly requests made by others, but I always try my best to join in (often in my own unique way!)

I am loud,
I am strong,
I am beautiful
I am Harriet 💕

Luna-Rose is a highly sociable fun loving, wild, crazy daisy that has more energy than most. She awaiting assessments for ADHD. School was not the place for her free spirt so she is EHE where she loves reading, sports, nature, animals, science and meeting up with friends. Her favourite games is cafe but you have to wait till she had a cuppa tea to be served. Luna-Rose favourite animals are axolotls, capybara and unicorns.

This group is all about the kids! So in the spirit of that, we're doing a meet the kids post! Every week we'll introduce you to one of our kids! Don't worry, these posts are written by the parents/carers and we have their consent for posting!

This is Elsie she’s 6 years old and is home educated. She’s on the Autism pathway and has been awaiting support for a long time. She also has Irlens Sydrome which affects her visual processing.
She’s obsessed with Peppa Pig ( her favourite is baby Evie and Gerald Giraffe) and she has an extensive collection!!
She also loves skateboarding, animals and anything to do with nature and outdoors! She has absolutely no filter and loves to make everyone laugh.
She’s clever, funny and the bravest girl we know ❤️

Harriet and Luna!

This is hard. They've been learning dance moves for a year now, but putting that together for a routine... Hard! Cant tell you how proud I am! (although you probably heard me at the end 😂😂😂)

The weather forecast was terrible last night so low on numbers in class, but even with just a few present, class still happens and they gain so much!

Good morning!

Were really excited about this post!

Were opening the group up to some new members and were looking for some new dancers to join our group!

If you dont know about us all ready, heres a little intro! I started this group based in Mexborough last year! Its a dance group for children with SEN. The kids don't need any dance experience, its just a safe space for our kids who couldn't manage in a traditional dance class.

The classes are free for the kids to attend. They will never be excluded due to their needs. Everyone is made to feel welcome and loved for who they are! We have a qualified dance teacher, the fabulous Miss Spalding who takes the classes!

The class runs on a Thursday 4pm till 5pm. Its a closed group. The reason for this is many of our children will not cope with unknown people turning up. I hope you can appreciate this. Keeping my kids safe, mentally, emotionally and physically is obviously our main concern!

I simply do a random pick for who gets offered a place. We have so many people ask to join that it feels the fairest way. So please, dont be disheartened if your child doesnt get a place! If I had the funding I'd run enough groups for everyone!

If your interested in your child getting a spot, please drop me a message! We currently have kids aged around 5 to 11. This isnt the only ages we accept, just our current age group. Personally I'd love for a few more around the 11 age, layla would love to make some dancing friends her age!

To request a spot for you child, drop me a message and ill add their name! Spaces are randomly chosen for fairness!

Love from Sarah, Helen and Elsie ###
