Introduction to dance and movement for health and wellbeing

This course is practical and experiential and is for anyone who wants to explore movement/dance to improve their health and wellbeing, to be more creative and express themselves.

It will offer opportunities to practice movement/dance to support your mental health and physical wellbeing through simple exercises in ways that will support each participant. No previous dance experience is required.

If you have completed a previous course, the sessions may include some repeated movement exercises but there will also be variations, so you are more than welcome to join the course again, if you would like to.
