Distinctive Dance Academy (DDA) is a community focused organisation driving to promote health and wellbeing in the community through performing arts. It has been operating in the northeast of the city for 10 years and has enabled many young children to gain the skills required to pursue college courses and full-time employment. DDA operates from Helenslea Community Hall, Parkhead, and encourages students to gain industry recognised dance qualifications.
They received a donation of £500 from Giving Glasgow to help to tackle financial exclusion by allowing children from all backgrounds to participate; achieve their goals; develop confidence in their abilities; and to improve fitness and wellbeing for all.
