Dance On - Trinity Network

Dance On With SS Dance & Wellbeing and Yorkshire Dance!!

Having over 20 years knowledge in dance teaching and a level 3 qualification in Otago Strength and Balance for Falls Prevention with frailer older adults, Chief Wellbeing Officer Sophie brings an adaptable dance session to Leeds to suit all ages and abillities to ensure that every participant has a safe, enjoyable and fun experience at their own pace.

The Dance On programme was created to tackle inactivity among older adults, delivered by a partnership of One Dance UK, Yorkshire Dance and darts (Doncaster Community Arts).

Every Tuesday you can join our Trinity Network community session to shake your shoulders Bollywood style, Jazz dance like you're on Broadway, D.I.S.C.O to 70s classics and get your body moving to a mixture of music from old school upto now!! This session is accessible for anyone with mobility problems as it can be done standing or seated.

This is a great group who are very welcoming... Joining this dance session can be so much more, as well as moving your body to maintain or improve your health you also get to build new relationships. Being a participant in this group gives you access to a variety of performance opportunities, previous performances have been at The Playhouse in Leeds and Broadway in Bradford. This session is £3 and includes a hot drink and a biscuit after the dance session.

Dance Development

As a dance artist with a specialism in working with older people we are working with Yorkshire Dance to build links in communites and engage Health and Social care partners by reaching out to older people who may be socially isolated or inactive especially during the pandemic.

For further information about the Dance On project check out this short video https://youtu.be/hsCZKN4WVQY It is evident to see that a little bit of dancing goes a long way to improving mobility and mental wellbeing.

It is an exciting project for older people, bringing citywide dance to Yorkshire. SS Dance & Wellbeing is continuing to work as a freelance partner delivering this programme on a weekly basis - Here is how you can take part in sessions:
