Creative dance and movement classes for adults who wish to dance seated. 

​

Creative dance, movement and connection – all from a chair.

Our Seated Dance sessions offer an enjoyable and creative way to experience dance while remaining seated.

Designed for adults who prefer or need to dance from a chair, sessions combine music, movement and creativity in a relaxed, sociable and welcoming environment. Whether you're looking to keep moving, build confidence, connect with others or simply enjoy dancing to great music, you're welcome to take part.

Our experienced dance artists adapt movement so everyone can participate in a way that works for them. We may also use props and creative activities to explore different qualities of movement, encourage coordination and extend movement in an enjoyable and accessible way.

If you're living with a health condition or have limited mobility, that doesn't mean dance isn't for you. Our focus is always on what you can do.

Together, we'll create and learn dances, explore music and movement and enjoy the physical, creative and social benefits that dancing can bring.

And, of course, there's time for a cuppa, a biscuit and a chat too! Our sessions create opportunities to meet people, build friendships and feel connected to your community.

Loved ones, carers and companions are always welcome to join in and dance alongside you.
