Breathe Dance for Mind and Body

Our dance class for health and social care staff designed to relieve stress and boost wellbeing

Breathe Dance for Mind and body is designed to increase physical and mental fitness, by releasing tension, stretching and strengthening the body.

Come together with colleagues to connect the mind and body. Led by professional dance leads, you’ll learn the basics of different dance styles in a beginner-friendly, encouraging environment. Stomp away the stress and feel empowered, revitalised and ready for more!

The focus is on having fun and moving to feel good in a supportive environment, creating a sense of community amongst colleagues.

Classes are aimed at all levels and no previous dance experience is required.

We loved speaking (and shimmying) with staff, to find out what the classes meant to them. Hear and see for yourself, in our short film.

Frequently asked questions

No. All classes are drop-in so just come along when you can. Although the teacher may build on some routines through the weeks, each class will be inclusive for new starters as well. All movements are explained and demonstrated verbally and physically, with options to adapt or develop if needed.

We recommend seeking advice from your GP before you take part in any new physical activity, but all movements and exercises can be adapted to suit your needs.
