Movement for Well-Being returns next month for the Autumn term and we're already half full!

This online series is for women who are longing to carve time and space for themselves and be part of a supportive community of women. Through movement, breath, presence and rest... we welcome ourselves and each other, just as we are.

If in-person classes aren’t accessible due to location, health, children, caring responsibilities or other reasons, this group offers a deeply nourishing space that you can join from your own home.

6 fortnightly Wednesday mornings 10am-11.45am
24 Sept, 8 Oct, 22 Oct, 5 Nov, 19 Nov, 3 Dec
Led by Leela Fisk

Sliding scale: £60 (low income) – £120 (supporter) based on your income. Full bursaries for those in need thanks to National Lottery Funding.

Thanks to the incredible support from The National Lottery Community Fund, we’ve received funding to support 18 months of dance projects – both locally in Totnes and online! 💛✨

This means we can continue and grow the work we love:
// Family Dance – bringing generations together to move, play and connect
// Movement for Well-being – our much-loved online group supporting women’s health, confidence and embodiment.
// Body & Voice – deepening our in-studio work with women, exploring the connection between movement and voice.

This funding also allows us to offer concessions and bursaries, helping remove financial barriers so that more people can take part – regardless of circumstances.

We’re so grateful to the National Lottery players for making this possible.

Gorgeous morning at Family Dance today 😍

It was our first time trying MIC Buckfastleigh as a venue, and the feedback has been lovely — it feels homely and was a popular choice among local families.

We also know how much some of our regulars love Dartington’s Studio 6, so we’ll be continuing there on alternate months.

We’ll see you in the autumn for our next Family Dance! We take a break over the summer so you can all enjoy the beach 🌊☀️

Want to make space for YOU? 🤩

Our Movement for Well-Being online group for women starts afresh on April 30th, led by Totnes-based community dance practitioner, Leela Fisk.

This home practice group is for women who want to nourish their bodies and their hearts through MOVEMENT 😍

Though most of the session happens away from the screen, we've found that women build strong connections through sharing, moving and dancing freely in their own living spaces.

Five Wednesday mornings, 10am–11:45am:
April 30 · May 14 · May 28 · June 11 · June 25

Commit to a full term.

"By the end of the series, I feel like a more fluid and functional being. I’m retaining that well-being and building on it.”

We love hearing how a regular movement practice transforms lives. This is why we move, why we come together, why we take space for ourselves 💛

Booking is open for Movement for Well-being online series for women — five nourishing mornings to listen, dance and reconnect.

🌿 Starts April 30th
🌸 Sliding scale £50-£100
✨ Full bursaries available with National Lottery Funding

🌱 Family Dance – next Sunday, March 2nd
A drop-in session for families who love to dance freely — or want to give it a try!

What parents are saying:
“I really love it because my children love to dance. In our culture, dancing often feels limited to ballet or some kind of prescriptive movement. But here, they get to see adults moving freely — in connection with themselves, the music and each other. It really is a precious thing and an amazing invitation for the children to do the same."

10.30am – 12.00pm
Dartington Trust Studio 6
Led by Adam Griffin and Asher Levin

An all-ages dance space — friends and family welcome.

Sliding scale £4-14

A playful movement exploration inspired by the delights of Spring, followed by free dance 🌸

Created by Movement for Life community group.

One of our regular online dancers shares her experience of dancing with us. Movement is such a powerful way to connect with our feelings and move them through the body ❤️

"One of the most obvious benefits I experience in class is that I become present in my body and can access my feelings. Whether it's built-up anger, emotional pain, or even shame and frustration around tech and organisation, the class gives me a safe space to be with it all. Because it’s online, I can make noise if I need to without disturbing anyone, allowing emotions to move through me. It's really obvious how energised and light I feel afterwards in comparison. Such a relief."
