Stay mobile, ENRICH YOUR DAY and enjoy

 

With the nation’s population living longer, the NHS under stress, the rise of technology and mental wellness being a cause for concern, whilst conditions like Dementia being on the increase, it is now more than ever that we need look after our health and well-being.

KM Dance and Health classes are designed to ensure we’re making the most out of getting older. Dance has huge benefits to us and these classes encourage us to stay as physically fit as we can whilst keeping a healthy mental state. 

Classes are structured depending on the group, they can be wholly seated, partially seated and standing or for able groups the whole class is done standing. The style is Contemporary Dance incorporating themes and moves across difference dance genres. With music from across decades and styles, movement is formed into short sequences targeting different body parts, muscle groups, co-ordination and for spatial awareness. Each exercise encompasses musicality, space and and expression, they’re broken down and taught and then performed with music. They’re developed over a few weeks so participants feel that sense of achievement and can leave classes feeling ENLIVENED AND EXPRESSIVE.

Workshops can also be organised and delivered to develop dance and health practice for other dance and arts facilitators as well as organisations who would like to further their knowledge in this area. Please use the contact page to enquire further about these.
