Get fit, feel amazing, and express yourself!

Get Moving is an open dance class for adults of all abilities. It will explore movement, improvisation, and connection with the body in a fun and supportive atmosphere.

Not only is dancing a fun activity, but it can also have many health and wellness benefits, promote creativity and give your self-confidence a boost.

Through working with different Dance Artists/Practitioners you’ll have the chance to develop technique and learn phrases of movement. There will be opportunities for progressions and regressions to suit your body and dance experience. Plus opportunities to throw yourself into improvisation, and create your own movement!
