An award-winning dancer has returned to Rhyl to deliver a workshop.

Little Peaches and her assistance dog, Possum, visited Work in Progress, an inclusive performing arts group, to deliver a dance workshop.

Little Peaches has more than 25 years of experience and is a favourite of Work in Progress, having worked with them since 2022.

In 2018, Little Peaches woke up unable to move.

Despite months of rehabilitation, she was still unable to dance on her feet, so she set about relearning and adapting to dancing in her wheelchair.

In doing so, she developed a new love for dance and sparked a passion for creating routines that tell stories and raise awareness of the issues disabled people face.

These routines have been performed worldwide in 12 different countries to date, from travelling circuses to royal galas.

At the workshop, she taught the group some new routines.

Artistic director Leslie Churchill Ward said: "Little Peaches has created some imaginative and unique choreography for Work in Progress this year.

"Our members love working with her (and her service dog Possum) and always look forward to her sessions.

"Her perspective is an important one: that everyone can dance, regardless of experience, age, or ability."

These fun routines will be used when Little Peaches dances with the group at their second public sharing in October.

Tickets for the second public sharing on October 12, at Theatr Twm o'r Nant, Station Rd, Denbigh, are now on sale via the Work in Progress website.

Chairman Toby Fagan and artistic director Ms Ward are proud to announce that Work in Progress has been shortlisted in the 2024 Denbighshire Leisure Ltd (DLL) Active Communities Awards for the second year in a row.

They are one of three groups shortlisted for the ‘Best Arts for Well-being’ category.

They said: "Considering this is only our second year as an organisation, this recognition is so meaningful to us.

"We’re looking forward to the awards ceremony in November."
