Swindon Dance – enriching lives through dance
Our Education and Development team run a series of in and outdoor events and special projects across Swindon and in the town center designed to help a persons health and well-being.
Dance for Parkinson’s
We offer a Dance for Parkinson’s class working closely with Parkinson’s UK Swindon support group and Swindon Therapy Centre. The class is designed to address issues often associated with Parkinson’s and is FREE to those with Parkinson’s and their carers.

Dance and Dementia
During 2019 we worked with Swindon Borough Council’s Public Health team and Open Arms Collective’s Sarah Gilmartin to initiate, design and deliver two pilot dance projects at Whitbourne House Residential Care Home in Swindon to residents with Dementia.
Following the Coronavirus pandemic we have reviewed this project and are in the process of setting up a new project to deliver dance activities specially designed for sufferers of Dementia.
Joining the collaboration team in this adventure is Mary Lou and the Mary Lou Revuew.
Yoga
Vinyasa flow – for those with an understanding of yoga and dance technique
Online class
Come and join our free online yoga community for young dancers (16+), student and professional dancers, artists, choreographers, people who love dance and movement and looking after their well-being – all are welcome.
From Charley…
“When we tap into our inner essence and move from a place of creativity, the result of this practice is an enlivened being – it’s this deeply seeded positivity I aim to bring to my classes.
Feeling free within our body-mind, and the ability to navigate our way through this life with authenticity and curiosity is what excites me about yoga and movement today”.
