Moving Mums

It's an opportunity to reconnect with yourself through movement, share the experience of dancing alongside your baby and other mums, and to be honest about the realities of early motherhood in a supportive, creative space.
Dance Jam
An uplifting, joyful dance class to great music. There will be an emphasis on finding freedom and expression in moving, feeling good and getting a bit sweaty.

Folk That!
Folk That dance is a dance group for LGBTQIA+ women, trans, gender-fluid and non-binary folk.
Over eight workshops, we’re following the Celtic Wheel of the Year, using the turning seasons as a starting point for making dances together. We’ll notice what’s happening around us — the things that are growing, changing, resting and beginning again — and turn those observations into new folk dances.
