Emily is a dance and health specialist, and founder of Move Dance Feel – a dance company specifically for the cancer community.
These sessions are centred around release, reciprocity and joy, inviting you to connect more deeply with yourselves and others. Together we’ll move through gentle warm up explorations and learn short dance phrases – tailored to everyone’s pace. The sessions involve 60 minutes of dancing followed by an optional 15 minute chat, to reflect and share with one another after dancing.
No prior dance experience is necessary, and both seated and standing options will be offered. Please wear comfortable clothing that you can move easily in. We encourage dancing in bare feet or socks.
Move Dance Feel is an award winning and life enhancing initiative, advocating for Dance in Cancer Care. The benefits of dance in the context of cancer include improved wellbeing, mood, range of motion, confidence, coordination, energy levels and body appreciation, as well as alleviation of stress and anxiety, and a reduction in feelings of loneliness.
