New Project: Keep Dancing Carers

Carers who have been bereaved or are facing bereavement are invited to join twice weekly dance sessions (one per week online and one in person). Following the dance class, there will be a space for attendees to engage in conversations and share challenges they may be facing as Carers or individuals who have recently lost a loved one.

These sessions are suitable for beginners/ any levels are accessible to all abilities. Please contact Xpress-Yourself Dance in advance to discuss any support that may help you access the classes.

Participating in these fun sessions will help Carers to connect with others and build supportive networks.
