Everyone created amazing cabaret characters, some hilarious, some bold, all distinctive.

It was such a good day. Big thanks to Charlotte from DYI Theatre for joining and jumping straight into the spirit. 💫

We can’t wait for the next Masterclass in December, where they'll work on screen acting! 🙌

The sessions are led by dream team Adam and Georgia, who bring their brilliant experience from our Hackney Take Part projects.

Staff told us they hadn’t seen the young people have this much fun in months - and there’s already talk of a future performance together 👀✨

It will also be available to watch on BBC One NI and BBC iPlayer from Wed 26 Nov. from 10.40pm.

Big respect to Vito and the Strictly team for putting in the work to make the show more inclusive and giving Ellie the space to shine. Here’s to seeing more disabled and neurodivergent contestants on that dancefloor soon. 🙌

Some of our team were there on the night, cheering, clinging to their seats, and shedding a tear or two. Every tear and skipped heartbeat was worth it — what a journey, and what a star Ellie’s been on Strictly! 🌟

We’re really glad to see the BBC Strictly Come Dancing team taking our advice on board and making the right adjustments for Ellie to shine on the dancefloor. ✨

Keep smashing it! 🙌

She’s a proper powerhouse — full of heart and a good dose of humility.

Here’s to Charlene — and to all the learning-disabled leaders we want to train to follow in her footsteps! 🌟

Charlene first rocked up to AAA over 10 years ago as a student on the Performance Making Diploma — since, she’s gone on to make her own theatre work, trained loads of people (and some massive organisations), spoken on panels across the world, and totally changed how our board works together.

We’re buzzing that our brilliant Co-Chair has been nominated for the Scottish Power Foundation Awards 2025 as a Charity Champion! 🎉
