Make it easier than ever for people to join in and find a suitable dance activity, whatever their fitness level, age or experience
-
Bring people together across divides to connect through dance
Ultimately, we want people to get fit, connect and have fun. Let’s dance!

Join us on March 2nd for a special Dance for Parkinson’s session on Let’s Dance day!
English National Ballet Dance for Parkinson’s hubs (like us) from across the country will take class at the same time across the nation, before joining together on zoom to dance together.
Dance has been proven to develop confidence and strength, whilst temporarily relieving some participants of symptoms in everyday life. Classes are creative and promote feelings of freedom from the physical and social constraints of having Parkinson’s.
11am: Join us for a FREE Dance for Parkinson’s class, whether you’re a regular to the sessions or want to try it out – this session is open to those living with Parkinson’s and their friends and family.
12pm-12.20pm: We’ll join English National Ballet online where their experts will teach a celebratory phrase to dance together
12.20pm-12.30pm: We’ll join with other Dance for Parkinson’s classes across the UK and perform together via zoom.
12.30pm-1pm: Tea, biscuits and a chat
As with all Dance for Parkinson’s sessions, participants are welcome to do part or all of the session depending on comfort levels, and all moves can be done seated or standing, and will be adapted to your ability.
You can pre-book a space, or come along on the day.
Join us for a fun and free Young Associates taster session 1.30-3.30pm 2 March for Let’s Dance! Day, a nationwide event celebrating the wonderful things dance can do for us.
Dancers aged 12- 18 can experience a contemporary dance class and creative session in our gorgeous studios in Cardiff Bay taught by professional dancer Camille Giraudeau.
This session is ideal for young dancers wanting to try contemporary, or those interesting in applying for our Young Associates programme next year.
Places are free but limited – sign up below.
