Seated and Standing Routines

Posted on July 27, 2009 by Sam Dub

As part of Southbank Centre’s commitment to accessibility, when we asked DanceMob choreographer Kate Prince to produce the routine for DanceMob we commissioned not one but two versions, a standing routine and a seated routine.

Embedded below is the first part of the seated routine for DanceMob. All 3 parts of the tutorial video for the seated and standing routines are available in our DanceMob YouTube playlist at:

The event will be taking place on the Festival Riverside (right in front of the Royal Festival Hall) which is fully wheelchair accessible. For maps of step-free access to the site and other accessibly details see:
