Movement For Life

17/12/2025

Doors are open 🗣️
Our much-loved women-only online movement series is now open for booking for the next term.

Welcome to Movement for Well-Being 🫶
A committed series led by Leela Fisk, meeting fortnightly on Wednesday mornings via Zoom. This is a small, held group space that balances gentle guidance with real freedom to move in your own way.

This series is especially supportive if:
• Getting to in-person classes feels difficult
• You value an intimate, held group
• You want space to be with and move with your emotions
• You are craving protected time that is just for you
• You like the idea of dancing from the comfort of your own home

This group creates a shared field of safety and permission, where you can arrive exactly as you are and move from there.

Winter/Spring 2026 Series
5 fortnightly Wednesday mornings, 10.00–11.45am
28 January
11 & 25 February
11 & 25 March

Cost: £50–£100, sliding scale based on income
Full bursaries available for those who need them (thanks to National Lottery funding 🙏)

We were touched by these reflections from one of our regular Family Dance participants. Her words say more than we ever could about why this space exists.

💬 “We love Family Dance. It’s a very precious space, and deeply supports our wellbeing as a family. It’s precious to me that my young son sees men dance, sees the male leaders dance, sees his father dance.

It’s very good for my health as a mum that they bring out the crayons, pencils and paper. It gives me a chance to move my own body free of my son, which is very rare for me these days. It gives my husband and I a rare chance to dance together without our son wanting to be swung around.

What I see when we take our son to football is the boys generally play football; and the girls are still dancing in little pink dresses. Family Dance is something quite different - where humans dance and families dance, beyond gender templates. Dance is part of our humanity and part of our birthright. It’s very precious to me that we give our son that community experience every month.

I’m deeply grateful to the leaders for their devotion and very high level of skill.

I wish we could have Family Dance every week and I wish everyone everywhere could have Family Dance.”

— Briony Greenhill, October 2025

Having kids doesn’t mean giving up things you love… like dance!

Here’s what families have said about Family Dance, our favourite all-age dance space:
💬 “It felt so powerful as a parent to share space like that with other families and my child.”
💬 “This is a very welcoming space where everyone can come as they are and enjoy moving together.”
💬 “Absolutely loved it.”
💬 “This was a brilliant bonding time for my daughter and me as well as to feel immersed in the wider community in a meaningful way.”

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 🌊☀️
