Friends and Dancing

This term we were supported by ESF and Colin oversaw progression and skills developed through dance and participation.
We are a large group now so it takes along time to go round the circle but we heard each other and commented on the term and the future, some feedback gathered included;


Somewhere you can meet and see people and catch up, when you haven’t got many places to meet and see people.

The highlight of my week, being able to join in and dance with like minded people in an inclusive setting. This must never stop!

Thank you to Fal care for a bunch of beautiful flowers! a real surprise, great news that they are continuing to hire the hall to do physical activities with the group over the holidays.

Next term we come back with ...funding and look forward to Brenda and Sammy working and training with the group to be peer support facilitators in healthy living and dance /movement.

playing on the bandstand... our trip out to see the space.
I wanted to share some photographs from this last year.

We work a loose improvisation structure, as many people have been dancing for nearly 2 years now, however as you can see we are a big group and though we love the light airy intimate room we meet in, we also enjoyed the space of the large sports hall when we used it once this term with props, this time large pieces of cloth, and so are considering using the hall more often in the future.

photographs contributed by Meesha, Arthur and Donna..thank you.
