Movement to Music

Gentle movement sessions set to music using chairs/ ballet bars for support and focused mainly on strength and balance - with the aim of allowing people to enjoy freedom of movement.

The class is suitable for all ability levels and carers/ partners can also join. Please wear clothing that is comfortable and loose.

The classes are held in person, under the expert guidance of Anna Carapellotti. Anna trained as a ballet dancer then took a Phd in Psychology and specialised in research into the benefits of dance to people with Parkinson's and multiple sclerosis.

There is a class maximum of 20 participants so booking is essential.

Attendees must register with Anna for a place in the classes but don't need to book for the individual sessions. Cost is £1.00 per session.

Autumn 2024 sessions will be held weekly from Friday 5th September to 29th November 2024 - excluding 18th October and 1st November. Spring/ summer 2025 sessions will be held from 24th January to 6th June 2025 - excluding 18th and 25th April and 30th May.
